Scoops done and on. I think I'm going to remount them not sure I like how they look. I'm thinking about bringing them more forward and a little wider. What do you guys think?

If you're going for looks then sure whatever you personally like but if you're looking to redirect the air to the head then it might pay to mount them to get the best airflow.
It's hard to tell but I think I'm getting good air flow. I think if I widen out the front they would grab more air, and at the same time look better.
Got a hand full of parts today, I'm pretty pumped even though it mostly maintenance parts. But part of having a toy is keeping up with it.
So tomorrow night I will be doing brakes and bearing in the front, and while I have it apart I'm going to paint the rims black and the hubs red and not sure on the dust shields? Any one have an opinion on what color I should paint the dust shields so they will match the rims and hubs.
Instalation of the reeds is pretty simple. Basicaly replace them the same way you remove them. Be sure to use the stock reed stops not the metal strips they included and if there isnt any blue lock tight on the small screws than add some. There is allot of vibration in the reed cage and you dont want one of those small screws comming out. You could prob use a new intake gasket also since you will be removing the intake. They almost always leak, some yamabond or similar sealant will work also. PLus dont over tighten the intake bolts.. I cant remember the torque spec but that along with other details can be found in the downloadable manual in the forum here..
Btw; It is nice to see you spent $ on some needed maintenance things other than just buying performance stuff and overlooking the basics. One thing i dont see in the pics is a front sprocket ? chain and sprockets should all be replaced as a set of 3.

Yes sir all three every time! I doesn't matter how fast it goes or how fun it is if the maintance hasn't been done your not going any where! I did get reeds, spacers and flush mount value stems, so technically I did get some proformance parts! The next thing is shocks and then pipe and outer wears air box cover.
.7 ft lbs on the reeds which is a gentle nip up, any tighter may deform the petals.
5.8 ft lbs on the cage, any tighter will warp the cage and maybe cause an air leak.

I had to go put tires on my Subaru today so while I was at it I put on the flush mounts. Not only does the front look better it seems to turn easier. Haven't ridden it yet I'm waiting for the rear spacers to show up, but I'm please with the end product with the rim flip.
It time to start ordering parts for the full tear down this winter! Can any one help me with led head lights I want two small round ones can any one tell me what I should get so I don't over load my stator or get the dining lights when I hit the brakes. Thank you
The best way is to get a small battery, float the ground in your stator and get a rectifier. There are a few threads on here about how to do it.
Your lights wattage shouldnt be higher than the stators lighting coil output. Sorry, I can't think of what that number is off the top of my head.
