Great job!!   waytogo

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!!

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!! waytogo

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!!!

Which turn signals did you use that cleared the front fairing?   Can you post a shot from the front that shows them?

A very big +1 on the orange wheel stripes - that will look stunning [moto]

What do you think about the Rizoma bars? Height, reach, sweep angle?
