before and after...so far

all the changes are in the signature. still considering and open primary, suicide shift/jockey clutch, new rear fender, side mount tail light/license plate mount, pin-striping, etc.

Bike looks great! The 21 upfront with the added rake looks right. Really like the firesweeps too, I kinda want to get some of those for mine...

how does it handle with the 5 degree kit? any flop from side to side.

it looks great with the front end kicked out. did you use the stock front end or have to go 2" over on the tubes?

thanks guys.

mark - i really like the look and sound of the firesweeps, although i am not crazy about the construction. i've had them for just over a year and there is already some rust on one of the weld seams and i store the bike in a garage, so not sure that should be happening.

gartec - i used the stock forks, handling i haven't had any issues. although, i lowered the back end so if i take turns to sharp, i scrape. just took the bike to NC/TN and on the cherohala parkway and had no issues at all.
