Wow...now I feel the need to go home and kick my plain jane black Connie over as I walk past her in the garage...and then go jump off a really low bridge so as to only impose pain and suffering and not death to mimick what my girl would do to me if I attempted even a fraction of this, J!!!
LMAO!!
Well, now at least I have "goals"...yeah, that's the ticket...GOALS! Something to shoot for!
Ah, I can dream again...!!!
Amazing work...gorgeous. Love those gold struts!!
Sadly, I told her the Connie was a 'road bike' and all the mods would be on the 9...oops! I shoulda known better!!
Lots of great ideas, though, J!! I will have to set out to do bits and pieces...
So, can I just take off the shaft cover and get it done or does it require a tear down like you went through? Never get that through the CFO's office.

Yeah, we got a regular twelve step going on here.
Thanks CC!
Yes indeed, it was alot of work and $ but worth every penny IMO, I still really love how it turned out!
As for the "shaft cover" it doesn't just come right off easy, I put some parts fish in the thread that shows all the many pieces to it, lots of labor...
Welcome to the forum and happy hunting for farkles, lot's of knowledge on this forum, feel free to ask us all for help.
And he walks you through the... DAMMIT I'm supposed to be boycotting this thread!!!
I just want to know what's next? I think Jay should find some digital gauges or have them custom made and surrounded by CF, maybe make a shelf of sorts for all his other doo dads to blend everything together for a clean look.
Hey brutha's, thought I'd start this as a pic depository for me throughout install etc and also for future reference for others...
Just bought a full Ohlins setup for my 09 ABS, Concours 14 rear shock arrived yesterday and ZX14 full forks today!
I bought both of these from Dan Kyle at Kyle racing, really great guy IMO, a very smooth transaction, great communication, and fast shipping, an *ALLSTAR* vendor IMO!!
Total cost was just under $3100 shipped.
(special thanks to Fred for setting up the current group buy discount on the rear shock, just tell Dan "GOC", but spell it backwards... )
Dan's website is:

If you call him tell him Jay (aka ZG) sent you to him and he'll roll out the red carpet for ya...
Here's some pics of the parts arrived to wet your appetite...
And I even got to use my favorite Kawi blanket, green on one side and black on the other...
I only wish Steve lived closer to me so he could take some true "quality" pics that these parts deserve, all you get from me is my lame iphone pics, sorry...
I'll keep posting more after install (which unfortunately wont be until the week after next due to some uncontrolled obstacles in my way....)

BUMP
Posted one year ago tomorrow, nice timing Steve!
I'd buy some Ohlins before I waste money on paint.
OK, I am doing it. I have an ohlins rear shock on its way to me and next will be the AK20 kit.
This is going to be sweet.
Hey Man,
THAT BIKE LOOKS SICK !!!!!!
Can I ask what kind of handlebars are those?
Thanks !!!!
