I got some fork parts anodized, lowered the gauge, bolted up new clip-ons, ISR masters and switch clamps.  Full-floating rotor buttons from Motowheels too (0.5 lbs less rotating mass).  Headlight switch is on the inside end of the left clip-on.

(and yes, I straightened the headlight)

Now to CAD-up a throttle housing.

Throttle cam housing underway...I thought I came up with a unique design...I was wrong...a Japanese company makes almost exactly the same thing!

I was remiss in failing to mention that the machinist is one James Forster, not me!!

Nice housing!

Where did that upper triple come from?

My design (saw something similar on the web?) and machined by James Forster as well.

I had a few minutes to bolt up the new throttle cam housing.  James Forster of JJ Machining in the UK (who also did my top triple clamp and carb caps) did the CAD (I drew pictures) and machining work.

Love the look of that bike. It's very similar to a bike I've been looking at, except in Kawasaki flavor
