No worries, I'm just hoping something posted in this thread can help somebody. Post back with your results once you install the lines, I'd like to know how it works out. Not sure i'll be doing anything else to mine, except a little powder-coating, fork bag stereo, and maybe drop 1-2 teeth on the drive sprocket...

Thought I would update this now that I've had a decent amount of saddle time. Swapped out the stock seat with a stock SB solo seat. I like the way it looks and it isn't too bad comfort wise. Handling is improved; I'm just not sure if the Ricor Shocks and Intiminators or the True-Track or the Fork Brace are having the biggest effect since they were all installed at the same time... overall very happy with the improvement, I think I could ride the bike through a mosquito's rectum at 100 MPH without scraping on either side. As for the engine I'm happy with the improvement as well, only 2 complaints in this department. Bike's alot thirstier than before, I haven't calculated MPG, but it's certainly less. It's real hard not to go too fast, this shouldn't be as much of an issue once all the sand and crud clear from the roads around here.

http:// Not the best picture of my bars but ill make a thread in the next few days as i get more parts in... just curious u didnt have any issues with your brake, idle and throttle being too short? i tried to mock mine up and the stock cables wouldnt even reach. I figured id have to order +6" on all my for all my cables going from the original 4.5" riser to 8" and adding 3.5" with the bars... from what the drag book has listed stock 2010 cables are suppose to run (60" clutch) (29.5 throttle) (28.5 idle) and (18/1/4 front brake cable) so i was going to order their +6 everything... am i missing something? just trying to cover the basis hate waiting for something to show up and find its not gonna work...
I thought the stock risers measured 5.5"?
so, those risers measure 8"? that height is killer!
