Ok My bike is a 06 1300C, This is what I have done so far. I replaced the 1300 final drive with one from an 1800. I loke the torqe and the take off speed for city driving. But I did keep the 1`300 drive just in case I want ot go on a long trip. At highway speed it dose increase the rpms a bit but I was ok with it. Secone I had Pony, cut my stock springs and lowerd them about 2 inched. Thanks Pony. I did the scar mod on my carbs, and installed a tornado air intake. I also remove the cobra slashcut slipons and installed a pair of HK Slashers, Great sound! Even better with the intake. It rumbles nice and has a good bark when you hit it. Ok For the Darkside portion. I am running a 205/65/15 I have had no rubbing problems at all, even with the lowers shocks. Everything fits nice on the inside and I have room to spare one the fender rails. I have sent my 1800c seat out to badX for modding ,and I have a set of 6 degree trees on order from stumpy. I polished my front forks last weekend and the rims are next. On The Crap Mod List I took a chrome exahust tip from discount auto for $8.88 and cut about a 1 inch slit down the middle. And with a little bit of persuading it is now my drive shaft cover. I know there are a few more things like stainless brakeline and such but more pics will be commming when my parts cpme back from the paint shop and everythng is together.

Congrats on your darkside! I lowered my seat also and did it myself instead of lower the shocks! You got a nice looking bike!
