Nice, how is the vibration on those puppies? Where did you pick them up?

I bought them at Pjsparts.com. As far as vibration, I think they are better than the stock mirror but worse than bar-end mirrors.

Actually, I think these are the turnsignals I bought.

I'm not sure about a length comparison between the rizoma and the stock mirrors. I dumped the stock ones as soon as I got the bike home. I rode with bar-end mirrors for a little while.

Five1,
What exhaust do you have on there? Is that D&D? If so tell me your thoughts on it. Thanks.

Its a D&D. I like it alot. Everyone said how loud they were, and I kept saying to myself, "how loud could it really be??" Well, once I had it installed, I finally realized what they meant. I have to wear earplugs now. It's not any louder than my friends harley, but since they come out right underneath the bike, It seems extra loud for the rider. (its wierd, but its actually louder when wearing my helmet) With earplugs I'm fine, but without, I feel like I just left a rock concert.
I noticed a slight increase in midrange power.
Overall, I really do like the pipe (despite having to wear earplugs) Everyone comments on how good it sounds.

Where did you get your subframe raisers from???
How do you like them?
I'm going to go that way but not sure to get the trojan ones out of the UK or the PM ones from Switzerland....the PM one are way more expensive but look like a solid piece rather than the thin metal ones.
How is the ride?
Also your tail light housing, is that a bought piece or did you cut that down yourself???

The subframe spacers are from Trojan Horse. They do the job and were much cheaper than the PM ones. The spacers did raise the seat height a little bit. I swapped seats from the standard S seat to the low SCG seat. The lower seat brought my center of gravity back down and helped with handling. I have had them on for a while now and don't notice any problems.
The tail eliminator and integrated tail light was purchased from American Sportbike.
The levers are stock (just cut down and painted black) Sometime I would like to get a set of Pazzo shorties.

Yeah, I just took advantage of the Ebay 10% off coupon they offered and bought me a set of Gold/Black Pazzos. Really looking forward to them. Maybe, I'll actually introduce myself properly with pics and everything once I get them mounted. Those look great Hover. I'm druelling for mine right now.

Steven,
Where did you get a 10% coupon for the pazzo levers. Could you send me a line to where you bought them.
thanks

I got the coupon from E-bay last Friday. I sold a bunch of junk laying around and it expired last night. It was a one time use type thing and I just did beat the deadline. Wish it could've been share-able.

Man I really want some Pazzo or CRGs. I hate my stock levers. I might just take Five1s idea and chop mine down.

Pazzos are great...I currently have them on my R1...they change the feel of braking and shifting... well worth the investment. Confidence increase for sure!

Pazzo Racing levers kick butt. The CRG's are nice but the Pazzos offer alot more color options.
