Spring almost here, mods and pics

[c1fer]

I really like how these mods opened up the look of the bike. I am trying to go for the minimalist look. I guess the next thing is a tail chop, but I have a Road Racing short beer tray on there and it looks pretty decent for not being chopped.

I like the overall setup. What are the rear-sets???
I didn't do a complete tailchop because I wanted something more back there for my passenger's comfort.
Not just an exposed tire..lol

So I upgraded to a 2001 Tray using a dremmel and some muscles...

Wow, you have a sharp eye! I never noticed that. So, basically, the correct placement is further up and closer to the engine? But the routing of the oil lines remains the same, right?

This must explain the scuffing on my front fender. If you zoom in on the first pic you can see it on the back side of the fender.

I've built a few of these things....   

But yes, your routing is correct, just the covers need to be swapped between the intake and exhaust valves (top and bottom of the head) and it would cause scuffing on the fender too...

Yeah, they're not as close in color as I'd like. they are very bright gold color, while the frame is a lot darker and more muted. Also, they are a llittle too large in diameter for my taste, compared to the size of the frame end.

Whereabouts do you live? I'm always keeping my ears open for an group rides, but it seems like the groups are either slow cruisers or hyper fast squid/stunters. I can keep a decent pace but I'm not trying to kill myself or get arrested!

Up I-64 in Capital City. I know what you mean about riding groups. Have you checked out the Hampton thread in CAM?

The rearsets are from a company called Style & Performance. They are nice if you can get them cheap. I think the quality/fit/finish of Sato or other comparable rearsets are better, but they cost a lot.

PS I can't see your pics. Red Xs.

Never thought about using 2 different mirrors. Still undecided.

Ack! You caught me! I have the matching CRG miror sitting in the garage. I've just been too lazy to put it on.
