What brand pads are you running? If they are the Galfer ones, how do you like them so far?

I didn't know AGV made levers.... I'm guessing you meant ASV. How do you like them?

Galfer G1003 on front, OEM rear. Once Galfers are warmed up they are extremely perdictable under heavy braking through trail braking. When cold a little sluggish requiring greater pressure, but then that means it's time to warm up...

Whoops my bad, yes ASV. All mine are Arai's so I have no idea how AGV got into the mix. I can't even blame big fingers Love the ASV's. I like the short levers and the adjustability.

Looks nice man.

Where did you mount the ballasts for the HID conversion?

I could not find enough room in the fairings and had to mount mine on top on either side of the gauges.

The ballasts ended up where the vacuum canister was from the removal of the flapper stuff (I did this at the sametime I added the HIDS). The HID set I bought had the smaller/slimmer ballasts and fit snuggly but did fit.

ahh, makes sense. I just popped the hoses at the solenoids. I also got slim digital ballast, only way to go.
