NO lottery but retired from motorsport so in comparison to the $$$$ that used to go into that this is much more economical.

Will let you know on exhaust as soon as I get it.

Any opinions on the handlebars and suspension I'm proposing?
I don't really like the look of the Burleigh Bars offered for the Rocket , sure they could make you whatever you wanted if you were prepared to pay for them..Wilbers i think speak for themselves, considered one of the best although i read somewhere the 'custom made to suit the individual rider ' is just speil.

Ahhhhh!!!!!!!! You are all a pack of wonderful people! See Im getting the good oil on what i should be doing. Love it. Will let you know when im finished with tors as the custom pipes and standards are all i will need so they definitely be available soon.

Sounds like the risers with classic pull back bars might be a better option. I agree with comment about the Burleighs, look a little odd.

HANSO, the light suggestion is now on my list as are the ebc pads, cheers brother

tomcat... yeah, i think it is more where you buy them and final setup as i cant imagine them complete being custom, non the less i have only heard good things so great tp hear your positive response.

jrhorton... hel lines it is, cheers, will pm for the pics or post on here if you know how.

Standard ones are one line into two mine are two lines all the way and although performance may only increase slightly they are a hell of alot nicer to look at than the ugly grey one into two lines from factory.
but the main reason i went with hel is because i have the highway hawk bars which required longer brakelines and hel stock them.
trust me when u see a standard set after looking at the hel ones u realise how ugly the factory ones r
just my opinion of course

Braided are supose to transfer the pressure better thereby giveing stronger brake responce, sure it would be worth the extra $'s
