Hi, I has replaced the old handlebar with a clip ons, the result:



And now I have Race Tech progressive springs in the front suspension, the result is amazing........

On next Saturday I will install the Dyno Jet Kit stage 1, and the K&N HIFLOW filter. Images soon.....

I highly suggest against the Dynojet kit, although I know there are some conflicting views on this board.

In my experience, my bike came with Dynojet stage 3 stuff and the large changes in needle tapers had the fuel mix going lean-rich-lean-rich-lean through the powerband and I never once broke 46 mpg with it on. Stock slides and needles consistently give me over 53 mpg with a larger main jet and more top end with about the same midrange

Are these the grips you've got? If so, what do you think of them? They get mixed reviews on the parts websites, but I'm interested in a real person's perspective.

For some reason, the network in my office blocks MS Skydrive, so I can't see any pics Weed posts when I'm at work.  :cry:   It's a shame, because they are usually pics of stuff I'm interested in, but I forget to check them out at home and run across them days/weeks/months later.

I like the look of the clip ons - it tidies up the business end heaps - might have to do that to my machine.
