I also went to a single set-up, and you can't tell any difference in stopping power. I know the argument could and probably will go on and on, but for me, I'd do this mod all over again. Big B's link...

I think the bike looks great, wouldn't need to do anything to it. But cleaning those wheels would be a pain. Other than that, I'm digging it.

Looks awesome! What kind of head lamp and fairing is that ?[/QUOTE]
The headlight is from mean cycles it is called the 7" Rocket, and the fairing is the Bullet Fairing from Memphis Shades. The...
The no fender look is just temporary, I didn't like the look of the stock fender on the 21" wheel, so I got another but need to mount it still. I think the fairing will look great once I get time to...
Here is the first phase of my fairing mod. Just have to clean it up, and then add the stereo, and storage compartment.

I ordered some Avon grips for my 9, and wanted to know how difficult the install is. I know on some model bikes there is a throttle cable adjustment right at the grip, but our 9's is under the tank...
Damn, I really wished I would have seen your 23, before I ponied up for the 21" set-up. Your ride looks awesome.

I like the idea of Dizzy's option, but you would have to mill off the factory mounts from your forks.

Let me know if you come up with something for the fender. I am working on a set-up for an aftermarket headlight and should have the mounting brackets done next week, and it mounted the week after.

You guys sound like a bunch of whiney little girls... Suck it up.

I love the ride with the 140, and am determined to make the fender work. I will try to keep you updated so you can get some use out of that 140.

Yeh, its a RC Component 21" with a 140/70/21 Metz, and +7 Morton Trees. Wish I would have gone 23" up front. I'll be interested to hear how it works out and handles for you.

Not sure about 26", I haven't seen one before, but I would guess that you would have to put a progressive lowering kit, or maybe even change out the forks completely to pull that off.

I can't speak for the trail, but with the +7 trees, I would have more than enough room to fit a 23".

I am running a 21 up front, and Morton +7 trees. My front tire is a Metz me880 140/70/21, and I have tried the Sumo extenders and one from Morton, and neither are long enough. I am going to have to...
Any idea of a release date

I would like to head out there as well. If we got a group, we could head out through Savanna, IL. and stop at Poppy's for lunch or something. When is it this year?

Grampi, what do you have on there now? I have +2" that I have been thinking about going back to the stick lenght.

I've got these and am trying to get them installed. I got the 56mm ones, and our upper forks are closer to 58mm. So I am having some trouble getting them to stay attached. They come as a two wire set...
I am running a 21" with +7 degree rake, and would have had plenty of room for a 23".

I actually like it, the visa nose in the pic is a bit big, but with some work I think it could turn out to be real sharp. Most of the guys on here sleep with their headlight nacelle's and would never...
A huge thanks to Alien109, who offered to send me a complete mounting kit to see if I can make it work. It amazes me how great the guys are on this site. Most of us have never met in person, and yet...
I called and got a spare parts list but that is about it. It gives me all the part numbers, but no dimensions.

Thanks guys, I got the spare parts list from them and will be getting something worked out.

I am trying to mount a Memphis Shades bullet fairing, and am hoping to use the VStream mounting hardware. What I need though is the distance from the bottom on the side to the mounting holes. So, if...
It funny you say that about the light, I am working on a small shield to cover it. I am just trying to find an easy mount so I don't have to fab a braket for it. And the front end is raked out +7...
