Do the tail chop. I waited over a year, and when I finally did it, I couldn't believe I didn't do it sooner!! Title: Re: My first "Real" mods... Post by: bmonty72 on January 24, 2009, 04:05:36 PM My only reservation was resale value, but the reason for these mods was a lay down on the highway. I still ride in the rain quite often, so back spray is a bother, but if I am riding in the rain I should expect to be wet!! [thumbsup]

Title: Re: My first "Real" mods... Post by: bmonty72 on January 24, 2009, 06:40:58 PM I'll have to look through the invoice...With removal of parts, Powdercoating and reinstalling, I believe it was around $400...what I am really most impressed with is the 14T sprocket!! It just seems to pull from down low all day long!!!

What do you think about the Rizoma bars? Height, reach, sweep angle? Title: Re: My first "Real" mods...
