Looks great!  I like the anodized (sp?) pegs and especially the wheel tape...That seems like it improves visibility alot and a great idea for night riding.

Thanks,

I just got it last week- I can't say enough about these bikes.   I've wanted one since the day they first came out.  I really like the older frame style better, but the new style is growing on me.  

I would like to do the whole 1216/cams/flatslide thing, but it just runs so smooth, I would hate to mess that up.  

Also, as you guys know, they already have ample power, seems like you could loft the wheel at 80 with a downshift and some throttle!

Hey Glenn,  with the 1216 kit the bike is just as smooth with about 30% more power.  I rode a friends bike with the 1277 kit and let me tell ya, that is the way to go.  Just as smooth as stock and TONS of grunt starting from way down low.  I would be very surprised it the torque was not up in the mid 90's.  His kit was a drop in, the sleeves were turned down where they extend below the bottom of the barrel and just dropped in like a stock set up.  Now that is the motor Suzuki should have given us!

Really good lookin'!   :bigok:

BTW, Webshots isn't share-friendly with boards like this.  Photobucket and Imageshack work well.

Nice to see someone else with a Naked B12.  I have the same bike.  BTW, why did you put your tank protector so high?  I collect motorcycle pics, if you get some nice outdoor shots please post them.

Here is a pic of my B12:

Thanks guys-  

The 1277 kit seems increadible.

Does anyone have information on the cost and where to purchase the kit?  

For the short term, is it possible to use the stock carbs?

oh, the tank protector came with the bike.
