      I like the look also, but will you be able to see the brake light?

        That is why I haven't done it yet. Gonna have to figure something out. Maybe get some Aux, brake lights and turn signals and mount them on the rear of the brackets. time is my only real issue. Hopefully Ill ge tit done somtime this season. We'll see

          trbig is running one of those oil coolers. The only down side was that his fender contacted it under sever fork compression, and it left a small crease in the fender.

            Question: Does those shorten exhaust cause any blistering of your tires?

              I was thinking it would look really cool with a set of hard bags mounted low like the soft bags are now. Would blend in with the rest of the bike and give you a spot for turn signal, brake light and license plate mounts.

                answer: not so far I have put about 2k on it with no blistering of tire

                Hard bags was my first thought, would love to do that, however these bags were free and I am a cheap SOB
                Maybe this winter I can get around to getting and mounting so me hard bags. I tactually crossed my mind to try and make some out of fiberglass
