Finally got my wheels - Installed today thanks to the GTA Tire Guy - Came right to my house to do it.
Pics aren't the best, but you get the idea....

Thanks guys - Turbo is still on the docket.... jury is still out on it. I have one more week to decide, but I have to say I am leaning towards YES!!!
I've come to realize that winter is worse than summer. Atleast in the summer I'm too worried to have my ride sitting idle to be bothered to mod..., but winter.... sheesh ... being bored = spending money.

Went with the Dunlop Q2's with the 55 profile rear.
Vortex black sprocket with gold driven nuts and threw on the Braking Rear rotor too since it's such a cheap little mod. Ordered Titanium bolts for the front and rear rotors. They will be coming the week after next and then I'll throw them on.

I hear you ZXMAN - finding the right mix is hard.... I do have the Evotech Gas cap on the bike as seen here and gold and black windscreen spikes, I was going to get a gold oilcap, but the one I saw wasn't of the same shade of gold. I will keep looking....

Looks nice, who would have thought that gold and green look so good together!
Just keep an eye on that sprocket, these heavy high powered bikes are hard on aluminum sprocket teeth. I had an all aluminum Vortex that the p.o. put on my Blackbird and after less than 10,000 miles it was shot. Put the stock steel one back on and have put 30k more on it with no noticeable wear.
YMMV

I'll be talking with Richard Peppler again this week from RCC Turbos. Romans 14R is over there right now getting the turbo treatment, and I was going to pull the trigger back in November when he had first taken his over. Now that the new year is here I'm really starting to get the itch. Richard made another kit the same time he was fabing up Romans kit, so that's where I'm at. At the end of this week he will be taking pics of the completed kit to put on his website and then he's giving me first shot at it.
That would basically wipe out my mod money for the bike, for the year. Only other things I've had on my mind were
1) Lightweight battery - either Shorei, or Earth X
2) Dynojet Wideband 2 with 200 LCD
3) Windscreen - Marc 1 Zero Gravity - This is actually paid for and on the way.
4) Bar Ends - Bar End Mirrors?? not sure what to do here
Starting to look like your list Rook.... lol, actually you have far more done to yours than what I have.

Not sure on the price of the turbo kit just yet. It all depends on what additions you get, etc. Some additional anodizing of parts... and other little details. It's probably safe to budget about $7500.00 once it's on your bike and back in your garage. I'm only doing 4lbs for now... I may up it in a years time after I get used to it, but at 4lbs it makes 260hp and 150tq at the back tire. That's SAE Smoothing 5 numbers. Compared to my current numbers SAE Smoothing 5 of 194hp and 113tq. It'll be interesting....
