Just a suggestion from a performance point of view. I would get a larger air filter that will flow more. The filter area on the one that you have looks like it would be smaller than the stock filter. Good looking brat.

Nice! That pipe looks LOUD!
What headlight are you running on there? Is it the small 4.75"?

do you have any more pix of you doing this Wenley? I have seen your rear blinker ones. but i'm interested in how you got rid of the big bundle that normally goes in the headlight.

i bought all new wires no connectors soldered straight on..( thats y i dont have the big bundle) so its going to be a pain in the butt if somethin goes wrong..
the only wires i have is for. blinker,horn, ing cut off, head light, instrument light n led for neutral.. at the front of the bike.. all wraped up in one bundle and it goes under the seat, i wil take the tank off n take some pic for u on the weekend as i get home late from work n it real dark.

Mate, congratulations! That looks great. Love what you've done with the wiring.
I notice you've got clip-ons with foot-pegs in the normal place. How does that go comfort-wise?
Raising the forks in the clamps looks cool. Does it change the handling much?
Matt
