Good decision to keep that baby,i must say that paint job looks like a pro work! great job! can't wait to see the whole bike.
yeah, i am happy with the decision and am looking forward to further personalizing her.  the painter did kill it though.

[laugh] agreed, i was talkin to the guy at speedymoto about that the other day whilst looking for a top triple that will fit my bike.  gonna have to save for one of the ism ones.  siiiiiiiiickness.  scored on those rearsets, a few $$ and trade for some stock stuff.  i'm lovin em.  it does pay to just scour the forum in spite of how angry it makes your girlfriend.

Yeah, some sucker let those go waaaaaay too cheap!   ;)    I'm glad they're working out for you.

That paint looks great, btw.

That paint job is amazing! Can you post a pic once you have the apex bars on? I'm thinking about getting them, just wondering how they'll look.

for sure.  i think they look amazing but am not too sure about this adjustable pin setup they have.  we'll see . . . pics soon

I had the apex bars put on my 696 last week. So far, so good! I wasn't happy with the initial body position, but after a bit of tweaking, I've found a 'sweet spot' where I'm super comfy and very much in-control.

I can't say how durable they are, but they are certainly ridiculously adjustable. If you can't find a good body position with these bars, then you can't find one period.

Finished product is looking sharp... the dark ano job on the rearsets looks like it came out really well.  Do you have time to post any better pics of the muffler hanger solution you came up with?


//curious to see how you got it to work.


Thx!

What was the turnaround on anodizing the forks?  I've been thinking about doing that and am also in the LA area.
