I bet some tail risers would make the bike look pretty tough too, not sure if they make them for your bike but I know they do for TLR's and I bet they would work

okay......CRAP!!!
I got the forks in and didnt do enough research at all. I need radial calipers so no riding for me this next week coming.....Okay fine. THEN, I realize these new galfer brake lines I have probably wont work. I have the ones for the 94-03 750 and will end up with K4 forks and calipers........
which brake lines should I exchange these for?????

Im one stubborn S.O.B and unfortunately for me I am not very patient at all so instead of wait for a buddy to help me put the swingarm in I did it myself. First time went smooth as butta......looked around for a nut for the bolt to the caliper support link or whatever that is under the swingarm and saw the damn spacer in the bearing for the swingarm sitting on the work bench. Okay!! CRAP!!
Now took it off and of course if fought me the whole damn way back on and I didnt realize the swingarm was resting against the headers and on the right side has a nice vertical scratch in the powdercoat. Guess I gotta find a nice little sticker to cover that shit up.....AGGH!
Oh well. Its just about 2am and I didnt get as far as I wanted with the body of it but electrically its all cleaned up and ready to go and once I put coolant back in, add fuel to gas tank and change the oil it should fire right up.
Tomorrow I will have it completely done with exception to the chain, muffler, new caliperss in front, and front fender.
Just mocked it up to make sure shit went back together right on the rear. I had some questions as to which spacer went where and such. Good to Go now AND she is on normal stands. I can finally move those jackstands out of there

The black frame makes your bike look so much newer and better
