    Hi guys! Don't know if this is the right section for this but could somebody fill me in about this. There must be something missing from in front of the exhaust and the chain? The rear brake lever is only attached with one bolt??? Then there is the handlebars that have been just moved up a notch, is this safe? Thanks!

    Looks like you're missing a heat shield and the chain guard. You can move the handlebars down to be safe.

    The bars are ok, no big deal there. I'll go look at my brake assy.

    Yes, you are missing the top bolt for the brake assy.

    Alright. Have to look for some of those. Damn, when I bought the bike I was happy as hell but now I find stuff missing... I wonder if someone makes these heat guards in carbon?

    You are missing two pieces of plastic. one is the chain gurad the other I do not know the name. You can do to a online vendor that sells parts and check the micro fiche. Beeverdam honda has a online micro fiche.

    Forks dropped through the triple clamps like that your Gen 5 must feel like an Easy Rider chopper, raise the fork tubes through the triple clamps 5 to 10mm below the circlip mark for much sportier steering. :thumbsup:

    Dude - you missing the heat sheild, you could find another one or leave it as is. Heres a pic (stock is no holes)

    Then handlebars is no big deal - you could push back down or leave it.
