Thank you all for your help. Y'all have been kind enough to answer my questions, and help me to make some decisions.
My 2004 Black Sprint RS will be undergoing the following mod's:
As I am a short shitt, I gotta think about the inevitable tip-over. I ordered some frame sliders from John at Sky King products.
The GenMar risers I recieved last week allowed me to take my new bike for a ride in this Central California fog. As I am but only 5' 2" (on a good day), they didn't entirely do the trick. They will be for sale as soon as I install my,
LSL risers with their "SuperBike (tubular) bars." They include their famous braided brake line with the kit, and assure me that the factory cables will reach the resulting 3" rise & 6" pullback. I also paid the additional $29.00 for thier "crash" bar ends.
Because I ride year 'round, I ordered from a clearance outlet, the Zero Gravity Sport Touring shield with a light-smoke tint.
I will be buying a gel pad and taking an electric carving knife to my seat. I plan to cut down the driver section in an attempt to get me closer to the ground, and insert the gel pad to support my heavyness.....
My pipe-dreams for the future include a custom shock from Works Performance made for my weight and lowered about a half inch. I will then employ Lindemann Racing to set up the correct geometry to my front-end to match the lowered rear.
I want to find some hard bags from off an ST. The lids can be scratched up because I will be coating them with black truck-bed liner (to aid in that parking lot tip-over I spoke of).
It seems the best worked out, and dialed in exhaust modification includes a Triumph can for which the "new & latest" mapping is available.
That's it! I've had the bike for several days and have not been able to ride it. At least with the GenMar risers (now for sale), I was able to lift my full-faced helmet high enough to see down the road and go for a spin Saturday.
That triple beneath me is seductively hypnotic, and much different than the the BMW boxer I got off of. I am a bit put off by a speedometer that is 10% optimistic, but it's easier to guess my speed with a 10% difference than it was with my Beemer's 6.74% difference......
I think I'm gonna like this bike, I think I'm gonna like this site, but whas up with the censoring and removal of the Harley "anal retentive" thread? I do so enjoy standing up for, and on behalf of, fellow motorcycle riders..... regardless of their choice of steed.
I'm down for the Brotherhood of bikers, and loyal to no brand..... :-D
