    Thank you.

    Installed and adjusted the new bars, controls, and mirrors a few days ago.
    I can see much more behind me, finally feel somewhat more aware of my surroundings.

    Working on fitting the gauges back in.

    I have been riding the past few days, Tge new front end feels sturdier than before. Not amazing but I am happy with it.

    Need to get back to the dyno and see about my rejetting

    Can't quite tell from the pics... which bars?

    I like the individual throttle housing and start switch. I've been converting my fleet over to that set-up for a while now.

    I ment clip ons, sorry. I like the look of the throttle cable housing and starter switch as well, thinking of rerouting the choke down by the petcock but that is a small part of the winter project.

    I tried to get the stock gauge cluster in but with no success, the clip ons keep hitting. Ordered what I hope will be the only handlebar I need. When that arrives I'll dig into storage and take some pictures of the other parts. Right now getting over a sinus infection.Hope all are enjoying the final days of summer!

    Went to storage and grabbed what I could to show:) You can only use the top section of the fork clamps as the stop for turning is different between the stock and race bike. I would have to weld a piece of flat stock onto the frame and I'm not there yet. Right now I will use the top portion with the handle bar and current controls.

    The rear brake rotor was interesting so I took another picture. Also need to find the end bits for the steering damper.
