Almost finished

Thought I'd post my ride so far, it's about 95% finished, mods that I did this winter are: Yosh ti bolt on, cut rear fender, rear Ohlins, front forks valve's done over and springs change to Ohlins also lower internalls 15mm, lowered bike 3/4", Aluminum adjustable kick stand, fully adjustable lower links, Scott's damper, Pazzo levers, Dino seat hinge, Alarm gaurd primmater for alarm, grip heaters, frame and fork sliders, made bracket for GPS {kinda ugly,but works for now}, Puige double bubble windshield, have throttle meiser {sp} bar ends still to put on, had them machined down to match the factory bar ends, just need to get them powered coated before install, would like to do more but wife has put her foot down {till next winter anyway,lol}.

I would love to ride that just to see how much better the 12R handles with all the suspension mods you did.

Have any pics of the adjustable kickstand? What brand is it? How do you like it?

How noticeable/better is the suspension after the mods? Especially interested in the changes after the front forks were done.

How do you like the Pazzo's?

Those frame sliders are the best out there, two month wait for me to get them imported from Germany and I sold my bike instead of waiting for them.

Looking to foward to riding it my self since the suspension mods were done, but with weather not working in my favour it'll most likely be a couple more weeks, I'll post how they worked after I get a couple of miles on her, as for the kick stand, it's awesome, got it from Spencer racing also got their adjustable lower links from them and there also top quality, the Pazzo levers feel good, I like the feel of the brake better then the clutch, haven't got to ride it with them on it yet either,let you know after a couple rides,




Here's a picture with GPS and double bubble winshield for the long trips, maybe not the best way to mount the GPS, but if anyone has better idea I'll be all for it.

Which model GPS is that? I use to mount my GPS to my 12R's triple tree, but I didnt have a steering damper on it like you.

Thanks, I have worked pretty hard and spent a little to much money over the winter to get her that way.

That's a garmin 2610, I would have liked to have bolted it to the triple but the damper stops that's and it doesn't make sence to be going back and forth, so for now that the only place I could make it work.

I have stainless lines from NBLwoolford in the UK, I'm going to wait till after a couple of good rides before I put them on, still alot of sand on the roads from winter here, better braking and sand don't sound like a way to start the year off when it been almost six months since last road the bike, lol.
