    Winter Mods Complete!!!

    Ok, so after about a month of waiting for all my parts to come in, everything is back together!!! So far the initial riding impressions are quite good, the 954 Front end offers up ALOT more feedback, and the brakes are OUTSTANDING!!! The Micron pipe sounds GREAT!!! I'm quite happy with the sound, appearance, and build quality of it. I haven't been able to test out the wind protection of the new windscreen yet, as I'm still scrubbing in my new tires, and don't want to put myself in a position that would put me back to square one. As far as the change from the 45T rear sprocket, again around town I haven't had a chance to really fel it out yet. Perhaps by the end of the week. Pics can be found here...

    Thanks to everyone who offered up advice and wisdom, w/o you, this wouldn't have ever happened!!!

    Love that suspension set up with the custom brakes, if i was more talented in the delinking department or if Mello Man was my neighbor, I would have went that route. Kick ass modifications :thumb:

    Thanks!!! It was alot easier than I thought it was going to be, and definately worth it. Being that I have never ridden a bike with the linked brakes, I can't say if it would be a mod worth doing.

    Thanks for the compliments!!! It was fun to do, although at times I did wonder exactly what did I do to my baby. After I get a good set of leathers and boots the next mods on the list are a rear shock, and headers from either Predator or Motad, but that'll be after summer is over. I got really tired of seeing other ppl ride when my bike was dismantled.
