That bike is so trick, Joe. It looks like it's going 100mph just sitting there. Your attention to detail, as always, superb. Seriously, so much work and yet so very subtle. That's what I'm always impressed with.

Done? Who are you trying to kid?
I am betting a part will catch your eye and your beauty will be on the lift in no time.
Really like the totally black wheels.
Hate to ask but was the ceramic coating for the header in the $200.00 range? Did it include the prep work?

Inspired by your 1000S

So anything to gain by swapping up to BS 34's versus the stock 32's ?

Engine is only 700cc right Joe? You hammering the bike to the extent where you need to squeeze every last bit out of it?

You might want to look up Billy Ricks and talk to him. Think he has aftermarket carbs on his 700 doesn't he? The right kind of carbs may improve throttle response, which would be a bigger improvement than just going larger.
