It looks more low in person, and the rear needs to be bumped up a little. Should raise with 140 rear and I will prob extend it one more notch which will be the max

Well the GP touring bars have way too much sweep at 4". I installed the small flush front blinkers, pretty dim and useless during the day but oh well. Also, installed MMNTHBX +1 rear sprocket bc I have the 140 rear tire. Much better pull so I guess it's about stock right now. My bike came with a +2 but it made 1st and 2nd gear pointless. With the +1 rear and Michelin's I was able to get 66 in full tuck last night, and 60-61 sitting up. I need to modify the airbox or get a new exhaust to open her up. Plus miles, only 550 on the gal.

Well installed some flush blinks and new bars. I did the bikemaster superbike bars which are perfect!!! They are low but I am 5-11 with long arms. I ordered 4 diff ones from motorcycle superstore. BikeMaster Superbike Handlebar - Motorcycle Superstore ones I put on BikeMaster Daytona Handlebar - Motorcycle Superstore what I would recommend to people who want something a little higher but not as high and wide as the pro tapers that came on the bike. BikeMaster GP Touring Handlebar - Motorcycle Superstore too much sweep back, controls will hit and the angle is not good for the hands Emgo Universal Handlebars - Motorcycle Superstore to wide and the center section is too big to move the controls in. Now about the superbike bars. I thought I would shorten but they are perfect!!! I did have to dremel the top prong holding my front brake cable banjo to get it to run better down the cowl. The controls do not hit just the cables/wires.

I did not drill holes. However, the right control will rotate if you force it just a bit at like full throttle. You prob wont move it unless you really try. A fix is to get some 3m tape and put it in between the control and bar; but do not hit the throttle tube. You do not want that sticking.

Installed chimera intake and rode on I-4 to work today. Was going 65 on flats no tuck, and 68 with a slight draft or down hill. I saw 60 going up the slight hills which was very nice. I did not push it that much. Stock exhaust, 140 rear tire and +1 rear sprocket. Also I was seeing 62mph at 8000rpm, which I like as well.

Added IXIL exhaust!!! What very nice product with a couple probs. Lining up was a little off. You had to mount the rear and then stretch the header into place. The rear bracket was a little bit of a pain to install. Then the muff was right on the sing arm. So then I hade to bend the bracket a hair out. But the muff is soooo cool to the touch when running so I am not to worried about the swingarm paint. With the silencer in it is whisper quiet when riding. Wind and intake noise are far greater at speed. I removed the silencer which was not easy. The access hole is not lined up well with the allen inside. Then the allen falls into the outer can edge with a washer that you have to then fish out. Well no silencer = amazing. The deepest exhaust I have heard bar none. Also, it is a moderate tone. By no means annoying. I can't explain how deep it is in neutral revving on the low end. In the garage is was echoing sooo much. Anyways here is a pic. Also, the silencer can easily be modded to find an in between sound.
