Well, I finally got around to taking on this project. I have been collecting parts ofr a while and below are some pics...
Parts Used:
Speedy - Moto top triple
Woodcraft 2.5" rise clip-ons and black bars
All Balls tapered Roller Bearings
I pulled the front end apart and dropped off the Ohlins legs to my buddy Matt @ Sikmoto for fresh oil and seals. they have been previously rebuilt and resprung for my size and weight

Looks great! I usually see the speedymoto triple in black, silver makes it stand out even more. The stock triple is an ugly piece if I do say so.
Just a thought: That triple really makes the cluster look "perched" way high up, I've seen a couple guys lower it making the whole thing look that much more sleek.
I agree about the "perched" look. I have a 3 day 900ish mile ride this weekend so I just had to get it back together and get a chance for a test ride tomorrow evening. I will explore lowering it in greater detail when I get back. If anyone can point me to a thread that discusses how to do this that would be great. I could not figure it out quickly while holding it in my hand so I did not try anything.
Another future project will be to figure out how I can reuse my Bitubo sterring damper as well :-)
Oh and I have to figure out some cool front blinkers! I just shortened the stock ones for now...

looks great. did the same on my m1100. When your done, youll probably find the headlight beam is pointing just 5-10 feet in front of you. Throw a few washers on both sides of the bottom headlight bolts, and then adjust your headlight beam with screw driver. your set.
What is the rise on your bars? They look really great!
Never mind! I actually read the post!
Polivo, Thanks for the tip! I have not had it in the dark as yet but will be tonight for sure ;-)
