Do you have a full side shot...i like the look and was considering a mid glide conversion at some point. How does it affect handling?

I added some pictures, including a couple side shots. Mid glide doesn't really affect handling, at least i didn't notice any major difference. Surely handling improved when i installed Progressive rear shocks and front springs!

I thought this mod kit increased rake but it seems that hasn't changed. Is that correct? I'm kind of torn between the narrow glide and the mid glide and each looks equally good to me. Decisions, decisions, decisions

As for the headlights, it just looks kind of odd but maybe it looks better when it's turned on at night!

Nice lookin' scoot.

Yes, the kit i bought didn't change the rake. Actually it is optional, so you can go for it if you want. You can visit their page, www.vulcanworks.net, and see some customer photos that may help you decide! Now, the headlight looks kind of odd, but that's the main reason i bought it. I just wanted something different
