Clubman or "droopy" bars installed. Maybe too aggressively positioned for me. I'm going to fit some drag bars as a trial.

Good work man!! Great choice in pipes. DP customs make some sweet bikes.

Today I got the fairing fitted, and I installed the rearsets. I still need to replace the brake line and relocate the master cylinder.

I'm also still missing my High Tech Speed turn signals, but that won't slow down the test ride!

Looking mean! I like it, can't wait to see it with the pipes on. I've been considering flameproofing my thunderheader. The tank looks good too!

Thanks El Monstro

The VHT goes on really well. I'm usually terrible at paint, but this stuff is very forgiving.

One caution. Wear a mask and cover yourself completely. Black ceramic dust flies all over. It cleans up easily enough, but it can't be good for you. I wore a respirator, but didn't cover my chrome dome. The whole top of my head was black with dust.

Replaced the stock jiffy stand with one from the XR1200 to compensate for the taller suspension.
