Your bike is lookin good Adrian, and I see you put the mids back on. 
I know you just got that Corbin seat but I kind of like the low look without the seat. Slap a piece of leather on there and you'll be riding really low. LOL

Yeah I'm going to try and get a bare bones for riding during the week. I took the seat off yesterday and saw how it could look with a low profile solo and now its got me hooked.

i liked the lift - but I also have one - I do know what ya mean about the speedo sticking up over though - Im still in debate on how/whether to lose the speedo - altogether, relocate, blah blah
Aside from that though I like seeing more o the motor with the tank up
but if you dig, you dig

Man, that thing just looks fast all over.
BTW, my first 'new' bike was a 1982 Seca 550. Talk about a fun bike that you could really throw around. I see where you get your riding style from. With those bars and the mid-controls back on, you got a screamer!
And I agree with finding a low profile seat, although that is a bad-*** seat, (never seen that style with the built in back rest) just not my first choice for what you've made there.

You crack me up, Jackyl! Whoever said an extra 2" doesn't make a difference?

I like it better without the lift. Looks cleaner, IMO. It's not necessary to try to go for the "chopped" look on every bike. Besides, any "cooling" benefits from having a lift are negligible, if any at all, so it's purely cosmetic.
