So I'm thinking of trying:

fenderectomy

super-shorty signals (uber bright led's)

hackin up a V&H to make it super shorty lower-louder

the flyscreen is done... just not in the pic

so - should I or shouldn't  I ?

Fender would look good.  eXhaust. . . .not so good
Pilot 22.5, Mid 65 , Mains 147.5, Mixture screw 3.5 turns out

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.

never seen gs500 exhaust done like that. Looks like it could interfere with ground clearance and there might be an issue with dirt/rain, but I'm no expert. I say go ahead and try it if you want to. If you want a bigger challenge you can route it under the seat.

I'd keep side view mirrors, get the sv650 mirrors, they're much nicer looking.

It will destroy the tuning of the V&H system.   :nono:

Go buy a Buell!  Err...  Or a new Gixxer with that godawful used pencil eraser can.   :icon_mrgreen:

Now an underseat exhaust is different.   :cheers:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

if you are going to dump the mirrors get the bar end ones  they  look good and only cost 50  but are worth the price.  Plus you can see alot more from them instead of your shoulder blocking the entire view.

Ya, the wife even said the under-thing V&H looked dumb. Go figure buell ;)

And The GIMP is a free image manipulation app, most folks compare it begrudgingly to Photoshop. Check it out: http://www.gimp.org/
