Yes, I do. It is sitting in the garage with a 1534cc motor hanging in it. I need to find time to work on that project this winter.

Love this thread already.
What mirror plates are you using? Also what brand is the kickstand and do you need to remove the springs every time you want to adjust it?
BTW, My new billet levers weigh 2oz. less than the stockers. Don't know if you plan on levers or not.

I can't remember who makes the mirror plates, I've had them for a few years...
The stand is a "PBR", I think? But check on Dennis Kirk..that is where I got it. You have to remove the spring to adjust it, yes.
What brand levers did you get? Is that 2oz combined, or each?

Btw, on the kickstand, I just use the spring puller that came with my exhaust. Very quick and easy.

I like all the colors but the black is my favorite. I bet it looks great in person with the carbon end cap & wheels.

Thanks, Dan. It does look great in person! I can't wait to lower it up front, and install the smoked signals up front as well. And then, I've GOT TO ride it!

No problems at all. I have been using the standard bolts with the BST wheels for around 3 years now? I think that the only reason to use the shorter bolts would be cosmetic, as longer ones protrude out of the back of the hub. That doesn't affect function, and it doesn't bother me. On the other hand, if I were getting some Ti rotor bolts, I would probably opt for the shorter ones.

Thanks man. I should have the front lowered by the weekend.

As for the exhaust, as mentioned it is the CT-Meg. It has a different midpipe and muffler from the CT Single. Because of the design, you don't have to run the passenger peg hangers.

Shane, that Brocks CT-Meg looks great. We have a noise limit at Elvington (here in England) of 101dB for the coming season of sprinting and LSR. I'm fairly sure the Brocks system I bought for my 06, currently decorating my garage wall, is over that. Have you ever used a noise meter to measure how loud the CT is?
A couple of days ago I sent Don at Ghul Motors an email, as you suggested, to ask if he could deal with overseas customers for ecu reflashing. No reply yet.

Bob, the CT Meg is a very loud exhaust. It is louder than the CT Single. Seno did some testing on the quiet core and noise reduction plugs on the CT Single, there is a recent thread on that.

I just called Guhl. They told me that it should be no problem to do a Euro Ecu, and they have done some 10R units in the past. They need to have a part #, and then obviously an actual ecu in hand in order to move forward.
Don did not recall seeing your email; but he did get one from the French fellow. So, I am not sure if there might be an email-related issue or not. Hope this helps.

Possibly an email issue Shane, I sent it fao: Don to sales@guhlmotors.com was that right?
A pity about the noise levels of the Brock systems, I might have to look at TiForce again or even Akrapovic who are quite popular here. I have one on my Aprilia RSV4 and it sounds great without being too loud and gives the weight saving.
Thanks,
Bob.

I had a Brock's Gen 3 system on my ZRX, it made good power while not being loud at all, and mine had the 14" can. If you went with the 21" muffler, it would be even quieter. Contact Brock, but I am sure that will be an option once they get the new exhaust system ironed out.

Well, I am getting there. I spent about 4 hours working on the bike this morning, buttoning up little details. I have a few minor aesthetic things to address, but she is mostly there:
It is 32 degrees out, so I only went for a brief ride...but boy do I love this bike!!
