why are you watching your front wheel through a corner?

i'm pretty sure the 929 models have a front wheel that points in the same direction as the handle bars.

Why don't you hide the lights behind a small flip up/down plate....like a small number plate between the upper and lower triple clamps. I think it would look good.

not to be a D!CK or anything. but Zack ill give you the single best advice ever givin to me...

I was looking at things to do to my bike to make it more capable and a good friend said to me "JUST RIDE THE DAMN THING" your bike will never be more cpapble unless the rider is

in order to do that you need more seat time and to get out to the track to get a grip on bettering your corner speed and your riding in general...

also read twist of the wrist 2 "the cornering bible" you bike is plenty capable and looks good as is

stop working on it and RIDE it
