Default About to Start Install of New Upgrades and Mods!!!

Once my bike comes back from the shop after being worked on for some seepage at the base gaskets, I will be installing the following upgrades and doing some simple mods to include:

Patriot Defender 2-1 Pipes
2" Bar Risers
12" Progressive 412 Series Heavy Duty Shocks
8" Jammer Z Bars
Home Made Ignition and Coil Relocation kit
2" Tank lift
409 Pro Race Plug Wires from DK Customs

The bike was upgraded with an extra plate performance clutch kit at the same time the base gasket seepage was addressed. I can't wait to feel the extra grab from the clutch combined with the extra power and torque the pipes are supposed to provide.

I bought the bars off of nashvegasmatt and was very pleased to deal with him. I will be doing the bars as a winter project as I am out of bike funds now but will be repainting them and combining them withe the 2" risers for an overall height of 10". Everything else will be getting done when I get the bike back from the shop and I will post pictures of the bike before and after.

Here are the shocks and coil relocation bracket I am making. It is not quite finished due to not having the measurements for the holes that I need to drill. I also used the bolt because I wasn't able to get my hands on a welder to weld it together. It looks a little tacky but it will be mostly hidden by the coil.
