RE: new parts!!
I will be ordering a third eye bar end mirror for the bar end soon...
The front is droped 5/8' and the rear is 1 3/8' butI will be making a shim for the rear to raise it up another 1/4' it just a tad too low for me...
Just some FYI... wear a welding mask when welding..I cut down the kick stand also yesterday and re-welded the base plate on. I figered that 5-6 tack welds with my eyes closedI would be ok with outa mask.. well I have a sun/weld burn on my eye lids and fore head [:@]

I agree that the 10r side stand is way to tall. Some guys have ground down the fulcrom of the stand more to get a lower or more lean while on the side stand instead of cutting and rewelding.
