Foxx4Beaver:
take some close-up pics of your silencer if you get a chance....I'd like to see how it mounts up compared to my carbon fiber silencer.

How do you like your Race Tech Suspension?
Did you go with the gold valves?

thank you. yes i went with gold valves. at first i thought i went a little overboard and it was too stiff, but after getting really comfortable with the bike I think it is perfect.
On a side note... I wish I would've went with ~2008 yamaha forks and front end. Thats how Sean Colliers 500 is set up.
The 04 kawasaki forks are great, dont get me wrong, but take 20 ounces of oil per side vs. a modern fork at about 8. and i could swap between my 450 yamaha (brakes, rotor, wheel, etc)
