Awesome, Thanks for the info. I've actually had mine for a couple years now, got it running really well with the advice over at GSR and just this winter started modifying it. Look forward to seeing how yours turns out!

Rearsets are really not as hard as I had dreaded and the look, ride, and comfort can't be beat with the lower bars. My only concern with sing the rear pegs as just a cruise rest for you feat would be the transition time if you run into trouble in traffic. Being able to downshift or brake quickly could make all the difference.
P.S. I think I am going to steal your tilt up seat mount idea, I've seen it before but yours has me sold.. I really would like to be able to access the battery and the fuse etc, while still having some sort of secure mount.

For your exhaust, how did you end up mounting the mufflers to the pipe? I chopped mine right at the stock muffler which leaves me with an odd -small- size header to attach to. I've got an idea of what I'm going to do but wondered what you've come up with.

I'm attempting to keep my cross-over, which is that odd tiny pipe size. I went to an exhaust shop today and had them 'crimp' down some 1-3/4" OD pipe to 1-1/5" ID, still a bit loose on the OD of the tiny header pipe but close enough that a good weld will hold it no problem. This will also allow me to slightly angle the mufflers up enough to allow the side stand and center stand to fully retract.

But heres the thing, the brake controls and shortening its actions seems easy enough, but im feeling the shifter and the linkage over there might be a different story, ya know. Somehow gotta find that 20 star-looking fastener to connect some linkage too.
