I sure will Tin Cup, I just want to spend more time riding it than fixing it up, but that is hard to do with everything you can do to these to make them your own. I have ordered my touring seat as my wife is getting a little jealous that I am riding by myself, but now I need to upgrade the sissy bar and look into some decent wind shield options. Rode behind a guy yesterday with a 240 rear that seemed to throw every little thing he ran over right into my face.

Tincup, did you have to utilize the included hoses with the DK 2" tank lift or did the stock setup work? I'm having trouble getting the tank up enough. Also, those solid bushings you recommended make a world of a difference compared to the stock ones, thanks for the tip.

Hi, I ended up using the DK supplied hoses to get more clearance, the crossover hose was close but OK but the tank vent was just too tight for my liking so I used the DK supplied hoses, I replaced both the crossover and the tank vent and left them a touch long in case I want to go to a 3" tank lift in the future; I'm glad the solid riser bushings worked out for you, I really like them and they make such a world of difference in bar rigidity, solid bushings are always one of my first changes...
Got a couple of shots, not easy to do this time of year in a garage, my photography skills are rather nonexistent 
The riser extensions are black and match the stock risers perfectly, the flash is showing them as having a silvered color but they are indeed black! The bars will look even nicer with the new grips, I finally picked them out but they're still in the box waiting to be installed
