TA DAAAAAAAAA-
I fooled around with it a bit in the parking lot and found that it takes more steering effort at very slow speeds, and the turning radius is bigger.
Still very happy with it though.

Thanks, Stimpy: The bag between the foot pegs is the tool kit, the bag on the sissy bar holds my pipe, flashlight for refueling, the pouch on the tank bib holds my sun glasses, and the saddlebags hold regular saddlebag stuff.

First ride today. The ride is much improved over stock. It doesn't nose dive as much as it used to when braking. Much more stable at highway speeds. It handles the same at normal city cornering as it used to, as far as I could tell.
To sum up- it "feels" much better than stock, sort of like a bigger bike, only lighter.
Glad I did it.

That looks Fantastic!
The s40 should come that way stock. I bet you'll confuse many a biker when you roll up on that beauty.
It really is a perfect looking bike. Congrats and enjoy...

Looks great, something tells me that a stretched out more "bullet" style headlamp would top it off..

I love your bike! I'm glad you like the change.
Where'd you get the patches for the tank? (and what are they called? lol) Mine is black, but I still think I'd like to have a set of those.
And I was thinking you had a fork brace. No? Wonder how different it would feel.

It really looks comfy.
Would you sell the Superbrace?
I echo BabyHogs question on the Tank Pads.
Great all around job. Enjoy your steed.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
Tank knee pads came from J&P. The trees are wider so the superbrace wouldn't fit, and yes I will sell it. I used it for one season. PM me with a price and a shipping location.
I have also got the stock trees, tubes, springs, windshield, and dampers if anyone is interested.

I sent a PM, but i don't know if it's working. What is the condition of the brace? How does $90 plus shipping to 11780 sound?
