looks great. bbq paint on the exhaust will make that look much better.
where'd you get the mirrors - are those stock on early gs's? i like them.
Do those hit at full lock? There doesn't look like there's much room for them to move around.

it hits the tank on the left side... but that is because someone ground down the steering stop on one side... i am planning to fix it the next time i take it apart...
it has plenty of movement for the track... which is its primary use...

i dont know... the mirrors were on the bike when i bought it...
they arent great, they vibrated quite a bit on the old drag bars...
i still need to adjust em so i can see out of em...

How can you fix that sort of thing? Weld on some more metal? Did you still want that top plate?
2 ways... either weld more material onto the steering stop on the frame... or add material to the lower tripple...
i am just gonna drill a small hole through the stop on the lower tripple, put a bolt through it and grind the bolt till the space between the bars and tank are even on both side...
yeah i need an extra top plate ... in case i wanna put the bars back on at some point...

how comfortable is that setup? hurt the wrists after a while? sure does look cool though.
is that a stock rear wheel? and are you running a longer shock in the back?
stock rear wheel...
97 gsxr 750 shock...
only ridden it around the block so far...
will update after i get take it on a day ride...
the drag bars cut off the circulation in my hands on long rides... so i doubt this will be any worse...
probly do a day ride on saturday... 2-300 miles :D then we will see... :)

current tires are sport demons... 110-70-17 & 130-70-17
soon to have a set of BT-090 tires... 110-70-17 & 140-70-17 on my other set of rims :)

hey nice work. did u put the clip ons between the top yoke and the headlight ears? removed the top plate and upper triple for that i'm assuming plus the top yoke, then put on clip ons then put it all back together?
~facio
i just loosened the tripples...
slid the fork tubes down...
stuck the clipons in...
then slid the fork tubes back up...
however... the way you mentioned sounds easier... cause you wouldnt have to fight with the headlight mounts like i did...
