Thanks, Keith! Oh yeah...EBC 320 and UFO SM fender en route. I need to wire the brake switches still. I am sticking with the stock gearing for now. I may go up in the front. Stock gearing was 98 mph stock, so I'll see what it feels like on the highway and decide then. Sucky part is, I gotta sit and wait for spring to ride the bitch now.

Make sure you wire the brake switch to the front lever. I did it to the back cuz it was quick and easy, but the front is what you use the most so put the switch there. But you probably already knew that.

Nice ride. That thing must rip!! Wonder how it'll do on the track?

Maybe my next sumo??? Show thos frikin KTM 560's and 610s a thing or two.

Did you buy the KLX300 nesr whore bike? That thing is a decent bike. Don't know if I'd spend the money on it to retard it though.

I want to rip that 650 like you read about.

I was going to go with East Coast Wheels for the rims, but ended up getting a good hookup off the west coast. Some guy with way too many toys. Anyway, don't worry about your caliper. If you were racing I would say get a motomaster setup as you may experience fading. I ended up going with the EBC 320mm kit with caliper relocator for $175 @ East Coast Wheels. As for my setup...

Excel Rim/Talon Hubs...4.25 and 3.5 in 17"
Pirelli Diablo's...120/60 and 160/60
Baja Designs DS kit
Uncorked with open tip, airbox opened and HRC jetting
Pro Taper CR-Lo Bars
Tusk bark busters
TrailTech speedo
Eibach rear spring 11kg
Race Tech front springs .49kg
7.5wt oil
EBC 320mm rotor w/relocator
UFO SM fender
