    Bike stands?

    This is a pricey alternative. I love it! Has a couple quirks like access to the shift linkage is a bit restricted. It's called a Bursig, google the name to see a video demo. Mark 2012 Corbinized Hayabusa

    Sport touring

    Lets see I have a few snap shots of that but can't find them right now. Will post them later if I find them. With all the mods I did the first thing I installed was a mini fuse sub panel under the left fairing, 6 fuses, run off the battery. The air horns are triggered off a relay so you need a...
