          if your using the post98 gauges make sure you use the post front sprocket and post98 speed sensor possibly even a speedo healer. you could pick up a pre 750 swinger its an inch and half longer so you could say you have a 1in 1/2 extender swinger i guess

            i just think it ruins the way a kat looks, i think you should keep the green and put the shark mouth graphics on the front of it on the front of it

                Must say,
                That 1930's USAAF fighter look is a killer, really very nice.

                    ok,, i got into the the exhaust mod today. first i got rid of those bars with the hooks under the tail, mounted som flat bar usuing the same bolt spot for the tie down bars. was gonna have a midpipe fitted today but all the exhaust shops are closed until monday. uughh! somtimes i hate holidays. well y i was at it i cut off the old brackets for the exhaust/pass foot pegs. stood back and looked at what i had done and i just could wait to see the empty can just hangin there, so i weant to oriellys and bought a peice of flex pipe/ for exhaust and a couple of clamps. got back fit it in and i loved the way the can looked mounted up high. so monday i will be going to the local shop to have my mid pipe made for like 15 bucks, and i also weant ahead and changed my oil. i took pics of the process but i didnt have my sd card in my camera and i dont have the usb cord to get the pics of the camera. but here are some pics after i finished and took it for a spin.

                      Very nice. High mounts give me a chubby.

                          Just be prepared to get used to the bike a little bit again. I know with mine I can feel the weight riding higher when I turn. The back of my right heel also rubs on the midpipe so I've had to adjust my foot position. Not really a problem, just expect to do it, especially if you wear riding boots...
