Looks great! I'm taking mine apart now to do the same and some other winter mods (Don't tell my better half...LOL). Hope the install was fairly straight forward? Nice seat also. Ride safe.

Just when I convinced myself to go with the lowering bolts, after reading your previous write up, you had to go throw a wrench into things! LOL I'm sure it is night and day difference between the bolts you previously installed? The bike is looking good!
