This is a killer build! Makes me want to keep my CL tank. Are those the OE rim sizes? What sz tires are you running?

I just went back and re-read the section about your rear shocks. The distance you measured I'm assuming is from the rear brace straight down to the tire, correct? I'm only asking since I had the same issue and people gave me the same comments. I have the 14in shocks. I have 3 3/4 in from my cross brace to the top of the tire that is directly underneath. I haven't cycled the suspension yet but I'm confident that the tire will clear under full compression. Let me know how you make out. I'm curious.
Layeredcake: OE rims, powdered and painted. Tire sizes are F: 100/90-18, R: 120/80-18
WNTITAL: I ended up going with a 335mm Hagon shock, I think. May have to double check the length. But I removed the springs and fully compressed the shock to see where its bottom out point was. You're right, my measuring point was from the rear brace to the top of the tire. I ended up having around 1.25-1.5" clearance. I've ridden it pretty hard without bottoming out and I've had a few guys w a couple more lb's on them ride it with no issues. But to be on the safe side, I'd definitely remove the springs and check the distance.

what rear sets are those? did they mount direct to the passenger mounts? Is the position comfortable?

Motobits. Really nice rearsets! I could say a thousand good things about them, although I did lose a toepiece on a ride yesterday... Pretty sure that one is my fault though, not enough loctite. They mount directly to the passenger mounts, are fully adjustable, and very comfortable.
