Be advised (as I detailed in another thread), I just discovered that integrated tail signals like those are illegal in the US. The Federal Motor Vehical Safety Specification section 108 requires a minimum of 9 inches separation between the centers of the left and right rear signals. I don't know if your local 5-oh are uptight about that or not, just a heads up.

LMAO, I thought the same thing. Although the last 20 seconds or so did get better. :)

hey pancake factory, you dont have to change out the rim.i believe you can go up to a 190 on that rim. the guy that sold me mine told me i could.i have a 170 on there now and it fits just like the 160.i dont plan on going over the 180 size myself because i like to hit the curves. i have a 120/60/17 on the front and my bike handles real well in the curves. but i think its more because of those pirellis. they just stick to the road.

i didnt know you could do that.

and hey biker fox dude. how old are you you look like youre my age! geeez im jealous about the bike man! id just be afraid to lower it because then it would be just like my car and i wouldnt be able to go over speedbumps at normal speeds. do you ever have problems going over speedbumps or getting up driveways? and those clip ons. i want them soooooo badly!

ok so im going to order the clip-ons in the next two weeks or so. the clip ons gotta be 41mm right? is that the sizing of the fork tube? i dont know how you classify clip-on sizes. is the 41 the size of the grip part? or for the fork tube size?

if i can remember all you need is the stock fastner thing off the stock exhaust but the shorty pipe i got was just a little to small to fit around the stock cat thing it comes out of so i went to pep boys and got this pipe thing that was bigger on one side and smaller on the other to fit over the cat thing i dont know the exact name of it but it was in the piping section at pep boys. the shorty fit on the smaller side and the bigger side went over the pipe coming off the bike. BUT the fastner wouldnt get titght enough to fit around the pipe so i came up with cutting up a pop can and placing in between the pipe and the fastner and it has worked great ever since
