That is a nice seat man, Looks good, and i love that blue.

[airborneXS]

I like your style...i just did a few upgrades myself. almost done getting everything back together. I think you will like em. I did something similar with my exhaust, just more of a muscle bike feel.

I posted some new pics of my v-stacks in my WOW thread

[skids]

I am sure that it is the camera angle/lens, but that backrest looks small in the first image!

[airborneXS]

im making my v-stacks now...ill post up pics when i'm done...

[Eveready1100]

Looking good, mate!

Just a couple of little things, those horns look good, but with the mouths facing into the airstream, they will lose volume at higher speeds. They work much more consistantly facing downwards.
And the throttle rocker. I shuddered when I saw it. Here's a link to a thread about a couple of experiences (accident / near accident) on the Aussie site - CLICK
Have a read and a think about it. It's your bike and you do what you want with it. Just be careful with that thing, ok?

I am a bit confused. That thread really doesn't explain it that well. Was the rocker spun around and facing the brake lever at the time, or what?

[ManagerMike]

I too am confused Nate, just don't see how it can interfere with braking unless installed incorrectly

[b.walker5]

Doesnt interfere with braking, but what can, and does on occasion, happen is that under heavy braking your hand can twist a little and force the palm rest round slightly, resulting in accelleration under braking Not good.

Hold your right hand out and make a fist, relax your hand and do it again, two or three times. You'll see what I mean. This is what caused the accident. If your conscious of it every time you brake it'll probably never happen, but theres alway that chance.

[ManagerMike]

OK, I see your point, but would not the same thing happen even without the device if you are gripping hard enough? Used to happen to me alot in my youth dirt riding, you know, braking hard into a left turn. Of course I was at the time probably a bit small for the bike. I don't recall it ever happening going into a right turn however.

Yeah, quite possibly, but it does seem to be more prevelant with the rest installed. It doesnt necessarily make them unsafe, but if you're not aware that it can happen then theres always a chance that it could.
