I went with the inner mounts, rather than the bar end ones, because I still plan on mounting a different set of bars.

Do you mean R&G? I thought about getting them, but hesitated. Too bad too, because I've got an order on the way from Twisted Throttle right now.

Believe me, I've thought about it. Ultimately decided that I had already added enough weight to it :lol:

Yup, that's what I do. I also wax it every time that I clean the tank, to help protect it. I still like the half tank bra better than those stupid stick-on pads.

Here are a few shots of them. I think that you'd need the single sides bar end mounts and the extra weights, rather than the single sides clamp mounts that I used. Barkbusters doesn't even list...

The Barkbuster "Storm" handguards are sort of visible in this shot.

Just tested the AdMore Lighting LED inserts in the V35 Givi bags and Jesus Christ, but they're bright!

I've posted these elsewhere, but they really kinda belong in this thread. The mods are pretty much done. Just adding turn signals to replace the reflectors on the Givi saddlebags, then putting on a...

Nope, haven't had the tank off yet. That's coming up, with the 12,000 Km service. Looks like I've had everything off that isn't under the tank though :lol:

Well I haven't had the engine out but I've had it suspended without wheels, forks, bars, shock, and bodywork.

So nyah!

You're pretty much a mechanical eunuch, at this point, since you've got crash bars and levers to my suspension. Get back to me when you've got some mechanicals, son :lol:

It weighs more than a supersport but I got almost 15,000 Kms on a set of BT010s, on a 480 pound Bandit 1200, so I don't see any problem with this bike and soft tires.

What about that PCV?

I got a spring that doesn't sage to the swingarm, just because I sit on the bike. That was a good start. The Hyperpro has good damping and the steps of adjustment are clearly noticeable in how they...

I doubt that I'd have saved anything. The forks would likely have cost me more and I would have had to farm out the welding work.

Make sure that you dyno your bike, before and after. It would be...

Damned good. The tight nature of the front end is giving good surface feedback, in corners and the shock is excellent. I'm liking it better than my old Penske, that I had on my VFR.

Unfortunately I had to remove my low/braced handlebars in order to get the windscreen to fit. With the lower bars, the right mounting bracket for the Kawi screen was coming in contact with the brake...

Nope, it doesn't. The fact that something aftermarket is better makes it better :p

I took my bike out for a quick 10k ride, to check out the suspension, and here's what I found.

The front end feels fairly similar to how it did before which is interesting, given that the original...

I'll be setting the static sag before I ride it ANYWHERE. Trust me ;) I think they sent the cartridges out set to maximum preload, since there's very little compression from my weight when I sit on...
