Firstly, the American Sport Bike BBQ today was awesome and I'll post some pics.

I got a bevy of swag from American Sport Bike today; some I installed in the parking lot, while some I installed when I got home.

Specifically, when I saw Al's XB Lightning with the Sato's, I had to have 'em. So today I purchased them and when I got home after my 1 1/2 hour ride home, I got right on it.

Took about 1.5 hours what with all the adjustment fits I tried and short of having to re-orient the rear banjo fitting about 10 degrees on the rear master cylinder solenioid, they went on with a snap.

Beautiful and functional. I have a couple of pieces of hardware to replace (nuts that ought to be nylocks) and the heel guards are less useful than my stockers, but I love the look and the feel is excellent.

Here's the link to their site and Al @ American Sport Bike sells them:

Here are the sets after install (I'll take better pics later):

Damn, very nice. How much, and what does it do to the footpeg position relative to stock?

They are, er, not inexpensive ; ) Approximately $500 but the quality and fit are exceptional.

There are like 15 points of adjustability -- all the way from midget to linebacker. Adjustable pivot points and peg positions.

The feel on the gear shifts are fantastic!

First "real" ride today. Will report back (did I put Loctite everywhere... ? ; )

Bark; That looks great on the XB

Sato makes some exceptionally nice stuff. A friend of mine has a bunch of their parts on his track RC51. Perfect fit and finish, and all the bells and whistles you could want.
