Finally got the upper brake line adapter I needed so I was able to swap the line and bleed the lines. I bled and bled then just to be sure, I bled again. Ended up pulling a bit over 3 bottles through the lines. ABS is working and no light so far so I think it's good to go.
I'm not used to the narrower and taller bars yet so it felt a bit weird to me at first but I was able to get used to them pretty quickly. Much more comfortable riding position now and I can see everything behind me in my mirrors now!
Here's how she looks now. Much more still to come.

Looking good! Which bars and what height? Thinking of a bar swap myself.

anyone using adjustable clutch and brake levers? noticing my front brake is a little too far. I've seen the oberon and flomoto ones but do they adjust closer to you?
Yeah, same here... Except I'm leaning more towards the road warrior.
So when we having this FXFBS convention? And where?
I'll be there.
I don't know. I am up for one as well but no one else seemed interested. Only a couple of replys to it. Maybe I'll bump FLS-103's post and see if we can get something going.
To add, I like the Road Warrior but I'm not sure I want the extra wind shield up on top of the fairing. That's the one that has stalled me from fully making up my mind on the Doug's fairing.

There are a couple of members who are using adjustable levers and they seem to adjust closer for better reach. Sorry I can't find the posts at the moment to link but search the forums and you will probably find them before I do.
