Looking excellent!! Love those lights. It is nice to have the signals and mirrors in one package, now you can ditch the stock signals. Have you considered a small street fighter fairing up front? It would look mean on that bike. I would strongly suggest some aftermarket levers. I wasn't a beleiver until I got a set as a gift a few years back, now I won't ride with stock levers unless I have to.

Very nice bike!

Thanks! Are the street fighter farings universal fit? Because I went on a ride today, and I really want a wind deflector.

X2 on the street fighter setup. it would make the bike look a lot cleaner. Im not much into bikes that arent complete full fairing. But we all have our opinions lol. Good luck with it, once you get riding you will never quit

So I wired up the mirror turn signals so they flash with my regular signals.(I'll see how I feel about them and might ditch the stock ones for something else.) I'm a little disappointed with how dim they are in the sun, but they are at least as bright as the stock ones. I'll get some pics tonight so you can actually see them.

Edit: I think I found a streetfighter headlight I like.

I might get it when I get paid. We'll see how I feel about it then.

Me either, most just look like wrecked sportbikes. I especially can't stand V-twin fighters, they just look like a lot of motor is missing, I4 fighters have some potential if done right. That bandit looks good already and I think it will turn out nice and mean looking.

You probably already know this but I will throw it out there. After you remove the stock signals the LEDs will flash very rapidly compared to previous. It doesn't really make a difference but it really iritates some people after they install them.

That fairing looks good. I run full fairings myself so I am not really up to the latest fighter mods. I have however heard some of my freinds say that they have ordered front fairings from various scooters and fabricated them to fit. Sounds weird but they look really good, you never would have guessed it without knowing.

I got to say I have seen some people with wrecked sportbikes spend a lot of time and money hiding hoses, wire looms, handlebar mounts, etc. trying to make them look like a decent street fighter and they don't look nearly as nice as what you have already. Looking good.

Thanks man. I do know about the hyper-flash as the PO installed some led signals in the rear. I have a led flasher on the way, but it is taking forever to get here.

Ok I got my led running lights installed today.



They are kinda hard to see during the day, but I want to get a Magic Flasher so I can get them to flash with the turn signals too.

Ok I got a pic, but it was with my cell so it kinda sucks.

I'll try to get a better one with my camera soon.

I finally got my led turn signal flasher today. It's nice to have them flashing normally now.
