Put these puppies on like the instructions sez-left side sticks way out and right side doesnt come out near as far. Did I put them on wrong or are they supposed to be that way because of the way the engine is mounted (more hangs out on left side of frame)?

The left and right sides of the bike are always taken as the rider sits on the bike looking forward-right? ODD -they are asymmetrical. Lefty longie, righty shorty..............
Does not look right but if it works, whatever.

pics are always encourged :-D

To me the skyking fronts seem ideal for something like the Sprint or Daytona w/ fairings, the fronts just seem too long on the triple, I personally went with the R&G Racing fronts, not as long as the Skyking and do not clear the turnsignals but I'm happy with them. click for pics

OK looks good rude-where do you get R&G stuff?(i know, from R&G) but where?

I need to figure out how to do pictures on this Apple with my Canon Power shot A85 camera and Epson CX4600. My computer skills are weak -sure would like to show my bikes on this forum.

Apearantly on of the aluminium bushings that the plastic slider mounts to should be longer that the other...the shorter one goes on the LHS to accomodate the engine hanging out.

I actually ordered them directly from the R&G Racing webstore, and had them ship them to me. It took about 6-days via post.

Jack Lilley also offers them but I figured I'd go right to the source.

I feel much better about the radiators ability to survive an "unplanned get-off"; easy as pie to install so long as you have the right torx driver for existing mount bold and rachet set to put new stuff on.

Yeaux HiVel......the doofuses at SkyKing got the directions wrong. Switch them around and they're just right. And make sure and check your credit card statement closely, they charged me twice and I STILL haven't gotten it straightened out (R U listening Skyking??).
