Nice.

Did you see there are higher mount holes on the termi brackets? I'm dying to try these out, but I need the short tail kit first.

I like, I like!! Where did you get the handlebar? Is it the same feel as the stock one? Hard to change over everything. I love the new turn signals too.  [thumbsup]

hmmmmmmmmm............
no, i didnt notice the higher mount points, thanks for the tip...;)
will try them later this evening, got a family thing early...
looks like a simple switch tho, should be enough room in the joint to
allow for the slight upward curve....

rizoma stuff i get from www.pjsparts.com
most everything else i get from motowheels or my local dealer...

NICE NICE NICE!!!  Curious about Rizoma bars tho....I wanna swap my stocks for something with a little more rise, puts me a bit more upright, less reach cuz I'm such a SHORTIE, and something that will roll levers back more so I can keep wrists more parallel-with stocks, have to bent wrists forward a bit and on top of reach-ouch. 
Considering puttin on hubbies stock Speed Triple bars to see if they do the job, but REALLLLLLLY luv ur Rizomas and in RED on my white 696 would be nice touch, IMHO....Any suggestions, advice for me???  TKS and CONGRATS-bike looks UBER HAWT!

those rizomas are a straight swap,
and DO have quite a bit more rise/ reach to them....
definitely puts you in a more upright/ back position
the control pod on the right hand side, the starter button pod, needed to be rolled SLIGHTLY upward
so that the bars completely clear the tank indents on both sides as cleanly as stock....
no probs, a clean straight bolt-on....
do 'em, youll love 'em....

took about 30 min this afternoon, when i could see better...
it took loosening both mounting bolts on each carbon canister,
where the L bracket mounts the cans to the frame,
to allow enough play to move the cans upward and forward slightly
to meet the higher mounting point on the hanger....
its a small/ subtle change, not a dramatic as you might think....
judge for yourself....;)
