Last year, I concentrated on performance upgrades. I built a 107 top end with ported heads, tw8 cams, upgraded clutch and changed the final drive.

This year, I'll focus on cosmetics. Stretched, wide rear fender, with side and top fillers, 4" stretched saddlebags, led tail lights, 180 rear tire, new chrome wheels, 18" rear and 23" front. Steel wrapper front fender, hhi 7* trees, 6 piston single side front brake, convert rear brake to 08 Brembo. I"ve already cut and raked the neck 7* using a neck block, and stretched the frame 1.5 inches.

I already posted them up over on the forum that's a little more oriented to this type of modification, along with a bit more info. It's a small community.
