the gear indicator is not on yet either but as soon as i get around it ill let you know

im probably gonna get the delkovic ss70 shorty muffler just cant make my mind yet i dont wanna get stupid exhaust ticket

for the snow i still can ride so it doesnt bother me as much but i cant wait for the summer

The brake and clutch levers you ordered from china .
I saw you had 2 left mirrors .What I was stating was ; a left mirror on the right gives a better view.

This was more for those who probably wondered why 2 lefts were fitted. !

Cannot really install them incorrectly; they fit or they don't.
It is only a shouldered bolt and a lock nut.
Do ensure there is a little free play on the brake lever where it meets the master cylinder piston.
If it is pressing on the piston slightly it can ,over a few applications hold the brake on .
It needs a little free play to release the pressure at each stroke.

ive tried to put the handle on but the inside is to small in diameter to get it on i guess ill put them for sale

as for the handle i took a good look at it but the design seems completely different
strange because they were listed for a fzr so im kinda pissed about it, my brake lever is bent because it felt on the side when i wasnt there so id be happy to change it

The grips will fit. The only sizes are 7/8 and 1" really and 1" is reserved for Harleys pretty much. They are going to be tight and one side is going to be bigger than the other because of the throttle. You will need some hairspray or soapy water to get them on. They aren't going to just push.

I also found out that isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) works really well when putting grips on, plus it evaporates fairly quickly.
