Yeah sorry just read through the whole thread. I was talking about your bike. It's def nice to see something different done with the sporties. Also I don't remember you saying how the firestones handle as far as cornering and grip on the outside of the tread. I live in the canyons in Hollywood and still need some function but I love the look.

The firestones really are a good tire. Sticky double compound like tread almost like the Michelin track day tires I ran on my sport bike. They handle really well, a little tall and feel tippy at first but got used to that after one ride. I may never run another tire again.

And thank you for the kind words. Im Proud of what I accomplished and its nice to hear others like it too. Welcome to the boards bro.

Some before and afters of the controls and some shots of the bike in the sun on its first ride since all the mods. Prolly gonna pull the controls in the summer and powder coat them. Especially after seeing how good flatirons turned out. Just want to ride now. Some minor wire hiding needs to occur and the hangers for the exhaust need to be made but other than that this bike freakin rips! Thanks everyone again for all your help. You know who you are.
