Cool Winter mods (PICS)
I'm done with my winter mods.
Lower the front and rear. Rear with ABM blocks (1.75"), and slide the fork 1".
Paint the front lowers legs in black.
Next, Lepera barebones seat.

What do you guys thinks?

I think it would look mean as **** if you went back to mid controls and installed some clip-on bars on the fork tubes above the top tree. That, and lose the strange red wheel strips, fender reflectors, and chrome bolt-over stuff. Oh, but as it sits is pretty cool; aggressive stance. The LePera will look a lot better. What do you plan on doing about an air cleaner? Big and stock is no bueno!

Have the lowering blocks affected how your bike handles?

Have you thought about painting the battery cover band with wrinkle black?

Actually, I like it better. lower, but it's still soft because it's the same shocks.
