So I got home from China yesterday and couldn't wait any longer. The Uly isn't all back together, but it was enough to ride it for 30 mins so I could drain the oil. Here is what i have done so far and my comments:

Erik Buell Racing 6mm Front rotor with Lyndall gold pads
- WOW, no more pulsing! Great and smooth stopping over stock. The nose didn't dive as much. This maybe because the pulsing was so bad that all I could use was the rears, but feels very smooth and not aggressive like stock.

Lyndall gold rear pads
- Same as above, nice smooth braking

Crankcase Breather
- I don't have this finished yet, so the hoses are ran long and tie strapped to the kick stand, but seemed to help the low end as described. Not much condensation until I turned it off. I did it alittle different from what I've seen, so I'll post pics when its finished, but very happy with the results.

Tuono mirrors
- Much clearer view with less vibration.

Other look nice mods"
- Brushed metal Buell logos (added at least 5hp!)
- Orange reflective wheel stripes


Still to do:
- Change oil (Amsoil, tomorrow)
- Paint muffler (tomorrow)
- Paint and install Belly Pan (no more rusty muffler to be seen)
- Lowering Collar (more info soon, very soon I hope)

I hope to get some pics soon. Thanks to all the info on this board!
