Long time listener - first time caller

Here is my ride - its a 97 LS 650 with 11,000 miles. Thanks to the tips on here, I was ale to swap out the petcock with the Raptor one (very easy).Now I am working on a BCB conversion.

I'm a drag bar fan myself but I have to agree that the mini-apes would look great on that bike. It all comes down to personal tastes and comfort for the rider .
