I had to absolutly destroy the bushing on the stock shocks to get them off the bike. Installed the Saddleman jumbos on my Easy Brackets Installed the new Tach Lowered the Luggage rack a few inches. Drilled and beat out the first set of baffles, now she sounds more like a bike and less like a sewing machine. Drilled the slides. Now I have to order some jets and a uni filter so I can drill out the airbox. Its getting there.

The grips are great, they took about a day to get used to, they are a lot fatter than stock, but very comfortable Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
