Alright guys, FINALLY, today was the day! About 3 weeks longer than they said they could get me in, but I dropped her off this morning, and I will be picking it up on Friday (fingers crossed!!
Not much has happened since I last updated. I removed the horn and mounted a windshield bag on the frame behind the tire. Low key, subtle look I was going for. And I found the bag act a local flea market for $5! So if I end up wanting a cleaner look with a newer bag not much is lost!
I went with the 120-70-23 on the front and the 260 Metzler for the rear.
Talked to them a little bit today about adding some things onto the build while its in, wanted to bounce some ideas off of you guys.
They have a "tire shredder" kit which is basically a stage 5 i think? Basically cams, lifters, pistons, whole package to convert to a 110"? They said $3100 to add that on while I'm in there? Im thinking of just getting the bike how I originally built and ride the 103 for a little. Get my money out of it and maybe go with a stage 3 or 5 this winter? Thoughts??
Also thought about adding some accessory lights while its in also? Haven't priced these out yet...
I saw the good reviews on the Boogey lights, but haven't seen any real good photos on these? I could easily install myself so I may just see how she looks on Friday and go from there.
Anyways, I will post photos when I get it back! I have been so pumped to get this done and start enjoying the bike just that much more! Talk to you guys on Friday!
Thanks EagleRay. Yep, if you look close at the gap between the fender and the tire the Metzler looks wider, fills out the fender more. Maybe next tire change, I am only getting about 5K miles out of the stock Dunlop so I will need a new tire this season for sure. Thanks again.
Remember that the in the second pic the bike is lowered. That will make a difference.
Alright boys, after a build that took 8 weeks longer than it was supposed to, a couple wrong designs, and a lost helmet by my dealer... Here she is! Let me know what you think!! I will update with what all was added later tonight! I absolutely love it, and as always, not done yet.

I am really confused... Not done yet? Please do not mess with perfection. That bike is unique and very cool. You are going to get lots of folks staring and asking questions.
