Ahhhhh man...it looks freakin' sweet and sounds awesome...



question though now with the new handlebar the controls hit the tank (...when turned all the way) is there somethink I can put on the tank to prevent scratching the tank?





now to get ready to go out and ride even if it's drizzling a bit...(I haven't ridden in about two weeks and I'm itching to..)

If you look on the backside of the lower triple there should be what is frequently called frame stoppers or steering stoppers. Basically it's a pair of bolts or studs, one on each fork leg clamp with a lock nut, which adjust in or out to set the clearance of the handlebars. Properly set you don't need anything on the tank unless the bike falls over or crashes, in which case all bets are off due to handlebars bending and other physical forces stronger than the adjustment.

That did the trick!  Thanks and now to wait for the weather to improve (...yesterday by the time I got ready the weather had worsen)...Stupid weather...
