One step closer im waiting on headlight brackets and 7/8 handlebar clamps to mount the speedo to, the bracket i made interferes with headlight placement so i ordered some up and then will be road worthy again, until the next mod...

Hmm, very interesting. I received my new mirrors yesterday, and am also waiting for 7/8ths clamps for my speedo. And my bike is blue. We must be alternate universe twins. :thumbup:

Anyway, lookin' good man. Can't wait to see the final shots.

Dude very nice job! It reminds me of avogt's bike... before he wrecked it that is :D

The only thing I`d do is drop the headlight by about an inch of a bit less... I like is lower, as it makes for a more aggressive look imo... oh and I`d get some LSL bars too :)

Anyway, it looks great! :thumbup:

Thanks for all the advice i appreciate it:thumbup:. Although this is a great set up i wasnt happy with the way i had to offset the gauge cluster, so while counting sheep and sawing logs last night an idea came to me and this morning i acted upon this idea and this is what i came up with. Bars are difinitly on the must do list! next week.

That's pretty clever there! I biased mine to the left though. I have the exact same bar clamps, (I guess we both took Wavex's advice) Either way, lookin' good man, lookin' good! I hope to have mine completely done sometime this week.

Definitly a great solution to mounting the gauge cluster to, the bar clamps are, but i wanted to beable use the part of the fairing that originally screwed to the cluster to hide the wiring and to do so the cluster had to be centered.
