Well, I have a 28# package out for delivery today, so this weekend will be
good for fitting the swingarm and such. Also got a good deal on an SV650
shock, and a 7 round headlight bucket to replace the rectangular stock
unit.
Things are a-moving now.

Can't get a good windscreen for a rectangle. Looking for a lowish profile
one rather than a tall touring screen. Also, your reflector choice for
rounds is better.

Sounds like you already have a process in mind. Now you just have to find
some way to jazz up that rectangular headlight. HID maybe or an array of
LEDs?

H, you mean like supplementary lighting? I've been considering it,
using some LED driving lights as daytime lights... Alternately, an
angel-eye style surrounding ring would be neat, and on a rectangular
light definitely unique!

No no no, we're modifying this much, we're not going to stick with the

We usually go through the Internet for out stuff; unless there is a local

Try sites like bikebandit.com and the motorcyclesuperstore site.
After that, you're going to have to check out eBay and the like.
