Thank you, Nic... I been wonderin' what it would look like with the little brace thing... I like the bicycle mirrors on there... And I'm glad I wasn't the only one to be likin' your kicks... they were distractin' me... And I thought I had a lot of shoes... Monday or so I'll get some pictures and maybe a video of me ridin' Ryoko... I finally named her...  Okay, I just used the smiley cause it looked cool. |

Yeah, when me and tigermon (brother) saw the cage at the store, man....we had to have it. I was suposed to order a shock from abe but ended up getting a malossi that didn't fit correctly, swapped it with the taiwan that my brother had on his elite. I really love my shoe collection.  -Ian |

I couldn't resist... here's sort of a picture of me at RuckusCentral... mostly just of my cluttered desk...  Oh, well, that's as far back as I could get my camera... my apartment is too small! |

Hey Nicad ! Great photo's ! ;D I really like the handlebar set-up you did.
When you put the new handlebars on, did you have to shorten or reroute your brake cables ? And do the cables and wires bind when you turn the handlebars side to side ?
Also how comfortable is the riding position ? Do you have a side view pic of you riding it ?

you do, you can tuck the excess into the plastic box. You get some pinching but it dosnt really do anything bad cept for the astehtic issues. here our a few more photos:  closeup of handlebar.  cage and custom cut plastic.  engine mods? -Ian |

I personally like the ride position better because the bars being set forwards and the pegs allow me to lean left and right really easily, if i am taking a tight fast turn all i do is stand a little on the pegs and put my head and torso a little over the bar. Im naturally leaning way forward with the bar being low now...takes a bit to get used to, lets put it this way, its too unforfortable to put my feet on the floorbed, and thats not because i don't have one.  remeber folks, style is half the battle. heh. The pod filter hold up really well, rain isnt to much of an issue because the pod hardly get wet. I could see a muddy environment being a bit different, but no problems last week when we had a big storm roll through. -Ian |

love it but i think you should remove the rear fender. Now that the airbox is gone you just gotta grind the little bar of the stock exhaust or get an aftermarket one. I like the open rear wheel look like abe has. Also why didn't you run the wires under the gas tank instead of over it.
With all the said its a free world and no matter what its gonna look rad.
