Now that I sent my bike for a little slide at the track, I'll be doing some further mods/repairs.

Here is a progression of the bike from stock to its current state over the past 22 months.
Just purchased! 1780 miles on the odo. Only thing done is the frame sliders and rear spools. I had my friend ride it home for me as I was still waiting for my certificate from taking MSF.
Removed the reflectors and some a few stickers.
Painted a few silver pieces flat black, removed some of the big stock mudguard. Got the Pazzo levers, Puig DB windscreen and Progrip tank pad.
Watsen flush front signals, reflective red rimtape and lots of stuff PCed black thanks to Tripage.
All prepped and ready to hit the track this Sunday.....
on the track!
and now
So now with some rashed fairings, destroyed barend and fame sliders and some other bruises, I get to do some further mods over the course of the summer.
That sucks man. Glad you're okay though. Are you going to pickup some track plastics?
Maybe. I'm going to see what I can do as far as mending and painting the plastics I have. Depending on how that goes, I might pick up track plastics or something for the street.
Yes, I had the pic of yours on my phone. I hate home depot. It took me forever to find the area with fittings of that size since there was another section that had down to 1/2" ID. Thankfully, I finally figured it out and remembered that you used two pieces. I don't know how you did it but bleeding the rear brake again was a bit of a pain. I kept the full length tube and kept having to add more fluid using a little funnel. After I had to bled, I pumped the brake to get the level about where I wanted, cut the tube and capped it.
I've ordered a few parts to start putting on. I might try to repair some of the fairings myself and take them in to get resprayed. The only piece I really need that isn't purely cosmetic is the bar end.
Looking good man!!!! as for bleeding the rear brake, I use the old reservoir as a funnel and just secure it temporarily with zip ties as I bleed the brake - allows for more fluid

2012 STREET BIKE OF THE YEAR
Yeah they held up well. Frame sliders I think get put under a lot more stress on the bolt if they hit a curb when sliding or if the bike tips over when it is near upright. Mine just lowsided so there wasn't much impact when the slider first made contact.
