    You'll notice I utilized the old headlight mounts for my choke and speedo.

    Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with it myself.

    The rear is a Metzeler, Laser 130/90/16.....Rides nice and seems to be wearing nicely. The rear cost me around $290. Oh and it sits higher than the stock spitfire, I had to shave about an inch off of the bracket i placed that joins the frame and holds the rear fender in the middle.

    Looks good man! Personally I'd wrap the pipes with black tape and flat-out the headlight, but that's my personal choice.

    How does the hardtail ride?

    Thought about it but everything else I own is black. The hard tail is just how it sounds. most of the time its good but you gatta pay extra attention to whats ahead or you'll get rattled pretty hard.

    Thanks for the comments

    I was wondering where you got your handlebar controls? Did you have to shorten the clutch and brake lines or did you just buy new ones?

    Sorry for the delay, the signal controls are actually off of an old suzuki. The Clutch and brake perches are off of a ZX1000, with aftermarket levers. Throttle is of of a 2004 yzf450. The clutch cable is the original length but had to add a steel plate and nearly max out all adjustments.
    The brake lines are all ordered by length according to your desire. Oh and the signal swich is built in to the brake line through the bango bolt.
