What are your plans for a rear wheel? That bike is a shaft drive correct? On my 750 just going to a braided brake line and metallic pads made a big difference in grab. Also my brother put on the euro bars which IMHO made the bike much more flickable and improved the riding position. Though if you go that route buy some weights for the inside of the bars from a cbr so you can install end weights, as the bikemaster bars are hollow and you will sometimes get a little head shake. He did have to JB weld on a piece of aluminum flat stock to the bar stops to prevent the controls from hitting the tank however it didn't affect the turning radius. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Additionally I'm cleaning and resealing the engine, entirely rebuilding the front forks, rebuilding the front brakes from top to bottom, and adding on stuff like a small windscreen and different handlebars. Just a little project! :D Kurt On Jul 2, 2012 9:37 PM, "Allen Thomas" <[email protected]> wrote: > ** > 1. What all are you planning to do to this bike besides FI? > 2.
