Here is the blue frame to match body work 650 with the grey pinestripes with some of the upgrades done so far. It has taken a back seat to the Z1R but still doing some stuff.

"dude do you have any bottoming out problems?"

Stock front forks have a 5.5" stroke. It sure looks like things will bump the way it is lowered. Another issue is the steering geometry. Looks like it's going to be twitchy because of the change in trail. I guess it will become very clear once it's back on the road. Ed

Ahhhh Ed, but there will not be issues as the forks are at the same length from wheel mount to triple tree as it was orginally. The forks are over sized so I can use clip ons on top of the triple tree and clear the gauges and not have a hateful reach. The arm postition feels alot like if it had a set of superbike bars actually, and just had the ends turned down a bit.

I am not sure what the tail light is, but it is a Balkamp item. I worked for NAPA at the time I built it and I looked through on of the lighting joober books and found it. Was only like 15 bucks.
