oh... and swapped out led idiots and led guages but who needs more pics of that
Hopefully tomorrow:
woodcraft rearsets.............installed didn't like, now for sale
right side fairing to replace cracked one........ decided crack isn't so bad, will wait till the off season to do this by then I should have a exhaust/jet/filter kit to do :thumb:
Still in shipping to me
gel grips
carbon fiber bar ends
mini led tail signals (wanted to match the front and not rely completely on integrated turns)
Good job man. Even though this makes me really depressed.

carbon fiber bar ends
...and the point of removing functional, useful, heavy, vibration damping lead-filled bar ends with ultra-light, "kewl-looking" and non-functional carbon-fiber bar ends is...??? :dunno_white: You like the numb hands/white-knuckle disease? Have you consider logging as a career choice? - that way you can have it at work as well as on the bike....

the title of the auction said that they are weighted, so i assume they should cut back on vibes. That and I think the PO lost one of the factory ones because one is i fine shape but one is rashed, paint peeling, and rusty. It basically looks like it came off a older gs. So yeah trying to make it look nicer with function. If they don't cut back on vibes I'll buy new factory ones but why not try a $15 set first.

...speaking from experience, I have removed the heavy bar ends and replaced them with aluminium ones. I don't have any noticeable vibration through the bars. Not every bike will have a vibration problem - some do, lots dont. But like he said, $15 is not an expensive experiment.
We need pics mate :icon_mrgreen:
^ he is very right we do need pics
maybe its a case of so used to it but i changed out my bars and when i went for a ride today seems like it is off..... bars feel like im turning them left could this be just that and im used to it or is there a possibility that its not aligned and never has been and i just didnt notice because of the bent bars?
update.....Ok, I think I'm good on this one. After many check rechecks from front/back. I noticed that it looks like my guages are a little off(very possible considering they mount in rubber). I looked at many other pics here and I also don't feel that I am alone. Took the bars back off layed them on glass to make sure they weren't twisted... ok there. So when I put them back in one of the welds keeps me from aligning them dead center but I can live with that. I'm pretty sure I was just so used to bent bars if feels odd to have good ones.. here is what I have been riding on for about 2500 miles. Sorry the puppy wanted in too.

I call dibs on the Woodcraft rearsets, how much are you selling them>?
Those pics tell a thousand words, thanks :thumb:
Looks good. I like the double bubble. I replaced my bar ends and can tell not difference.
I think your dog wants to play fetch....
