Very nice and clean Ted. Congratz. Question, do you have the original tires on that bike? The front tread looks very much like the original Bridgestone tread. You need to check the date code and if they are you need to change them. Avons are awesome.

Thanks Guys. Tires were changed. Just put on Pirelli night dragon rear tire, front tire is a Bridgestone but new. I read some good review on the Pirelli regarding good adhesion. The bars are Biltwell Chumps.

Not to bad. Toughest part was getting your hands in to tightening the bolts under the top triple tree clamp. Once I got that some minor headlight adjustments and it was ok. I will say that I have noticed that it does do what it says. I don't have wind hitting my chest.

Thanks Vita and SMJoe. Just ordered some lenses from Fast Eddy Sports! I was sitting on the fence with these before, but I can see why you got them. Looking at your bike,I like the fact the clear lenses are not so pronounced and it does not draw your eyes right to them, like the bright orange ones I have. I am sure with bulb on it would draw your attention when its required for a turn. Also I am sure this may be on another forum but any thoughts from anyone on doing the 904 big bore kit upgrade?
