      Thanks.
      I've finally got a couple rides in since finishing. It rides way different than before, in that, it's an improvement all around. Ride comfort, cornering and braking are considerably better.
      It's a different bike for sure.

    "Shocktop"
    Pros - Monoshock in rear, and custom engineering of parts.
    Cons - Front shock says look at me!
    Excellent workmanship and I like the tank emblem finish. Did bike lose weight?

      Thanks.
      The bike now weights in at 418 lbs. with a empty fuel tank. It's about 7 pounds less than the stock weight of 425 lbs.
      I wasn't trying shed weight when swapping parts it just worked out that way.
