John - a lot of people would consider those Vortex clipons to be a nice upgrade for the SVS - lighter with the replacable tubes...

I think the drop would be much too hard on my wrists.  I like the stock height...for now.   :grin:

KillerB,

Great lookiing bike(s).  Too bad the old one has to go.

I really like the look of your bandit's windscreen.  Would you be so kind as to tell me the make/model of it?  I've been wearing out the search button trying to find the answer.

Thanks,
Russ

I didn't realize it would change the height at all.

Russ - He's got either a Buell screen or the one from Holeshot.  I have the Holeshot.  Mine is probably gonna be for sale soon if you are interested.

Rob,

Actually, I don't think it's either of those.  John's has a double hump which fit the gauges better.  Hmmm.  John?

Russ - it's not a double hump, I'm pretty sure it's the right-side-only hump of a Buell S1 Lightning.



From this ebay listing...

Ahhh, thanks Rob.  When you you said "Buell", I automatically assumed "Buell Blast"   :duh:

This look like your screen?




Still possible for sale soon??  PM me if so with details

Thx,
Russ

Yeah, mine is a Buell S1 single-hump style from Airtech Streamlining (http://www.airtech-streamlining.com).  It's fiberglass and costs in the area of $85.  It comes with the gel coat, so you have to prep and paint it.  You also have to drill the mounting holes and it doesn't come with brackets.  You're probably best off buying Rob's.  The holeshot looks great and should be an easier install.
