Slotted brake lever is very nice, I have the same installed, why don't you change also the shift lever to match the brake one? I also see shift linkage and voltage regulator that can be "enhanced"...tempting you a bit...
Just for curiosity, how do you like the open primary? Always liked this mod from a cosmetic point of view but never fully convinced on the cost-benefits analysis...

Nostradamus...Your predicting the future!! Shift lever and linkage are tomorrows mods!!...and I plan on covering the voltage regulator with the chin spoiler....I'm really liking the open belt drive, both the look and the sound, love the "whine"!! Yes, it was pricey, it cost me a little over $2k with install, but I think it was worth it. I like having something different that I don't see on many bikes, and it's a big attention grabber, which is always fun!!...plus, think of all the money I'll save on primary oil!!... LOL

What kinda Nostradamus would I be?!
Honestly I was expecting you were already planning these mods!
Thanks for the open belt primary info!

The levers look great. The slots all tie in nicely. I'm not calling your bike "slotty", but, y'know, people tend to talk.
