   Nicely done... Huge improvment.   

Your photos are kinda stretttcched out though.

I know it's wrong, but .... I covet your wife's ExBox!   

Industrious! YOu and SuzyJ should trade notes

Thanks guys. The bike and the project have both been a lot of fun.

Daaaang, that's quite the list of improvements! Cha Ching!

Looking good 

I'll bet it's a ton more fun to ride now.

That's very cool. 695's are the most awesomest monsters ever.

Where did you find the Exbox?  Was it a lot of fabrication to install?

I was about to have a custom exhaust created to dump out the side like that under the engine but was concerned with how loud it would be since not many mufflers would fit.  It would be ideal if this could fit my bike (also have a 695).

 

Who made the gauge faceplates?
Ever think of removing the side panels to expose the frame more?
You need to fix your pictures. They are so out of proportion I am getting dizzy. 
Overall looks good.
