I couldn't be happier with my bike now! Last night I put on the Arata titanium slip on, Larry's fender eliminator,Clear Alternatives smoked integrated taillight, and a set of sweet led flush mounts that I got from ebay and sprayed with tamiya clear orange paint! Everything went fairly smoothly once I had my friend stop by with the 8mm allen wrench that I was lacking.

I went with the Titanium Arata instead of the matte black that everyone seems to be getting because I think that it compliments the bare frame and swingarm on the 07 better.

The flush mounts are two wire (i'm pretty sure they are the same ones that VFX kits sells), but I was able to set them up to work as both running lights and signals by putting diodes that I picked up at Radio Shack in the signal wires on the connectors from the factory signals. I soldered the factory connectors to the wires on the new signals and used heat shrink on everything so it's super clean.

I'll get some pics eventually and post them up.
