-trimmed back heat shield for the muffler
-installed smoked windshield by SpeedScreen (and broke a plastic screw in the process
)
-installed Lockhart Phillips Flush Mount LED Turn Signals, smoked
-removed the mirrors (waiting for my block-off plates to arrive)

Let me know what you think :)

Very nice. Can you post up a pic of the front LEDs? Just wondering what model/type of LPs they are. How much?

Is this a track bike? Why no mirrors?

All those mods and not a single frame slider...

I don't think it's a track bike, otherwise there'd be no need for lights or a fender eliminator, or even plate. But I am curious as to your no mirror situation too.

I can't see anything in the mirrors anyway - a combination of narrow mirrors and a somewhat wide rider
I rarely use my mirrors as is so I'm going to try riding without them and see if I really miss them. If I do I'll put them back on, but if not then they stay off the bike - it just looks better without them

I really just hate the way sliders look on bikes, and money's not an issue, so if the bike goes down I'm not really concerned...it'll give me an opportunity to upgrade the look of the bike or just get a new one

WOW!! Wish I was Big-Pimpin' like you. Surprised this is all you've done so far, and you don't even have a pipe yet.
I agree the bike looks better without mirrors, but don't you have laws requiring you to have at least one mirror?

Look into the powers race railz
(LINKY) I think they look pretty good on the 600RRs, but thats just me. Also I have riden without mirrors for the better part of this summer and haven't had any trouble from the law yet. And I'm a bigger guy too so I couldn't see anything out of mine and I was constantly adjusting them from virbating out of the spot that I could kind of see LOL. I just turn and look behind me once in a while, or look for oncoming cars to see if they are pulling off the road LOL
Your bike looks good, probably all of the mods that I would have done first, now get a pipe on that thing and a PCIII and you'll be set.
