Does the lack of a chain guard have any negative implicaions? I do like the stripped look!

Guardless increases the slight chance a rock could get caught between the belt and pulley.

Here's the final product and i'm totally stoked with it. Tried to integrate a mix of the grey and black through out. Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as i do! Drew a ton of ideas from many members of this site. Quick rundown of the Mods are: New rims(21" front), pulleys and rotor.
2" tank lift
grips and pegs
forward controls
DG seat
RSD A/C
Chopped rear fender to match the profile of the rims
BR 14" New wave 2 apes
paint headlamp cover
New front fendor
relocated rear turn signals and removed front ones (not required in AZ)






a little inspiration from M I K E on this one.

At least another 2 weeks. I told Bill I wanted 12" but could go with 13" if it cramped the look too much.
Here's a picture I chopped of his 23" to give me and him an idea I wanted.

I'm still waiting for the turd knocker I ordered a 2" lift kit from ebay to ship it. I'll have to paint it since it comes powder coated. I ordered some "New" Avon air cushion grips that are out of stock. I love my ISO grips, but the Avon's are made here in the U.S.A.
