Thanks for your comments brother! 1.) Typically a static object will not wear out due to stress. Obviously something like a spring has a finite life span. Unless you hit a large animal at 50MPH, the clamp will last much longer than your bike will. Essentially all I have done is remove the...

oh wow!! well, nevermind, thanks anyway.

Sorry took me so long, I don't really get a chance to get on here much anymore. Nope it is not sold yet and I really need to sell it, if you know of someone let me know! -Kevin

Thank you! Sure, actually I cheated and used a bracket that I bought online. The problem was that the extender part of the assembly was way too short and the forks weren't wide enough for the headlight either. Therefore, I had to fashion the extenders to be longer and shaped differently...

Thank you! I thought about painting them black, and I may still do it. I just kinda liked the contrast a little better... sort of like how all the bolts on the engine are silver.

I like the way they look a lot, the vibration is about the same as the stock mirrors. I had a set of cheap cheap round barends that had the most awesome functionality: perfect field of view and zero (and I mean zero) vibration, but I just hated the way they looked, oh well can't have it all...

Thanks man, it's hard because the FZ6 is my other baby ;) and it's a little faster. Also, I don't know how much help I'll be but I posted in the sticky, Thanks again.

GSXR 1000 (2003,04) headlights can be found on eBay all day long but I won't post a link here since in a few days the auction will be over. I bought a brand new headlight for about $140 but the mini-fairing is custom fiberglass. Color-rite is the paint used here. They have a decent rattle...

Thanks brother, don't be so modest, I started this thing last June after seeing your pics. I thought, "That is what modern bikes are SUPPOSED to look like." I knew it all along and then when I saw it, it was like a revelation ;) Anyway, cheers and godspeed.

It's one of the hardest things I have ever done but I have to. Wifey just had a baby and we need the money! I've put 7000 miles on it since I bought last year. I rode in 10 degree weather all winter long, everyday to work, and she never failed me... cranked on the first time everytime and...

Yes... it must be done. :rockon:

Aside from the headlight, the one thing that I actually spent real money one was the turn signals. I tried to go cheap and sucked. These are 60/pair but they are well worth it. They are dual firing and are very bright for leds. Ok, this pic is to show the brightness of the signals. Both...

Of course, some people saw my handlebar thread but now I have painted them black. Here you can see the instruments brackets. Two pieces. I used the built-in headlight mounts on the gsxr headlight to mount the instruments. I also cut off our instruments bracket with an angle grinder and...

Does anyone ever get tired of hearing "Wavex" and "streetfighter" in the same sentence? I know I do, but at the same time, he has singlehandedly started a revolution that has gripped our hearts and minds and (?) angle-grinders and I for one am part of his fold. So I would just like to say...

Boneman has a pretty good answer there. On price, I might have something to add coming from a manufacturing background. If a certain amount of people are in demand for an item, somebody is going to figure out a way to manufacture it. In the case of exhausts (or anything really), you have two...

That's a pretty good idea to keep the bar from hitting the tank but can you use the steering lock? Also, when I put the bars under the triple, I can't even make a right turn at a stop sign! Do you think it's just my clipons?

Having the bars below the triple is really the best ergonomic and racy position. I just wish the turning radius was smaller :( What clipons are you using, I didnt see in your list? I'm using the blackbird clipons currently because they were cheap but I would love to get a pair of the fully...

Oh, and also, you cant really put the clip on's under the triple unless you don't want to have any steering maneuverability. Seriously, I tried every way possible because it feels wonderful with the bars that low but they slap the tank on even the most neutral turns. I have thought about...

Hey Mav I am digging the projector headlights, I have always liked those but couldn't find any to fit my budget. It's ironic that you posted that pic of the triple because I painted mine black last week! I am doing a total transformation on the bike and I'll post a thread in a week or two...
