Can't recall off the top of my head, but I really was not happy with xpo's brackets and fork clamps. The fork clamps are plastic and I've cracked two sets trying to get them tight on the forks. the brackets were way too long and I had to cut them down and re powder coat them. I would seriously consider a different way to mount the light than xpo's clamps, they were shit.

I've since ordered a set of Cnc fork clamps and a headlight bracket from bellisimoto. Been waiting on them for awhile so I dont know what the deal is.

thanks DWS. I'll have to see when they arrive. At any rate, I called back and changed the brackets to the 54mm ones. I'll try to make due with what I got.

Hi all,

Thanks,

Looks sweet.  I was concerned about how it looks with the radiator cover missing.  I don't have an oil cooler like yours though.  I'm going to have to pick one up soon though.

DoWorkSon,

Do you have one of the early 09's with the grey/black swingarm? I do and it bugs the shit out of me. I'd love to have it pc'd black...

You bike really came together man. I love it.

I think I want your headlight and not a dual setup. I remember you mentioning you might want to sell. I'd take it off your hands if so.

If not, it was xpoststreetfighter for that 7" round headlight right?

Yep, it's the gray/black one... If I decide not to do any type of engine mods this winter I might either 1. Pc it black 2. Swap for 1100 swingarm 3. Try to develop my own SSS somehow

I did get the headlight from xpo. I'm gonna keep the single for now. If you go with the setup from xpo, I would recommend a different company for the brackets/fork clamps. xpo's fork clamps are cheap plastic and snap. The headlight brackets were too long and had to be cut down. I have a set of Cnc fork clamps and an oem bracket on order from bellisimoto as we speak.

As far as the headligt

hte  best idea for a swing arm I can think of is a MH900e

+1  I would love to tackle that, but would need a good amount of modification/welding to fit...but would definitely look tits.

don't think as much as you think. the MH900 has about the same shock location as the 696

DWS, are you happy with the head lamp itself? I just got my dual light setup and can't wait to install it.

That belly pan really cleans up the aesthetics. But in a way, it makes the bike look like a giant, menacing  army ant waiting to chew up anything in front of it.

I'll put it frankly, IT's make the beast with two backsING LOUD. You will need earplugs or you will be deaf. I have dB readings in my thread.

I made a baffle that dropped the volume significantly. I can now ride without earplugs and not get a headache.

[2-Skinny]

Yeah that cheap baffle on the Rodan box is easy and makes a HUGE difference but still sounds great.
