I highly recomend only 1” blackrain. The tire is only 2.5” taller than a stock tire. So cut that in half and you got a 1.25” rise at the axle. 2” and your starting to put the nose down reducing the trail more than you need.

Tried to PM you but is said forbidden...Smokes you think if I just leave it the way right now will the front be to high? PM me if you can smokes.

I did the stage 1 drill job to the stock exhaust. Probably the best sounding exhaust out there.

If you don't count what was put on before leaving the Dealer it would be my Mustang seat.

Drilled the pipes then drilled the airbox. Then custom, made by me, k&n filter, then all the rest of the mods,eg, pipes, breathers, paint, bags,windshields and fairings. Oh, and the best one so far, my ED seat set.

Re:What's the first mod you ever did to your bike? 5 Years, 3 Months ago  
First mod was uhh.... I think I did a few things at once... Speakers, GPS and Satellite radio, vista cruise control, ... i think then came the engine guard and fender rail... then drivers backrest, womlus rack and trunk... The fairing is next, whenever I get the time to mount it!

I'd love to throw the exhaust the Kai put on the new Kaidillac but money is tight these days. The wife is still a little hot about the fairing... I know how to smooth her over though so I'm still living in the house
