Might I suggest a tank lift kit. Helps with the lines of the bike.

Tank lift

once I get the front end on, I'll see if there is room. It will likely be pretty tight.small delay from HHI on the front end, but my goal is to do this on labor day weekend. I'll post pics during the change over.

Dropped the new tank of yesterday for some airbrushed badges and graphics. Well see what great ideas come from his crazy mind.

Tank paint started

The Rocker is taped in so it will show through in black when removed. Iron maiden theme with new badges getting blown in too. Still hoping to do the tear down and rebuild complete on Labor day weekend. C'mon HHI, get me my front end.

Progress.

HHI pulled through and got my front end to me, but failure to get the new wheels made me delay this weekends plans. At least the weather cooperated for some good riding. Made a list tonight of parts to buy tomorrow, then I will start the tear down. Planning on doing this in the evenings after work this week.

Tomorrow - remove tank, bars, wires, and front end.
Tuesday-install new front end
Weds/Thurs- wire up new bars, add heartland turn mirrors, and get the new chubbys on the bike. Put on the new Ness controls. Change clutch and brake lines.
Fri- mount wheel and measure spacers. Install new HHI 6 piston caliper
Sat- Install PC-V, and A/C. Put new tank on.
Sunday - Ride?

Ill take pictures of each step, and will likely post lots of help questions.
