Wow! I'm impressed! Really nice pics of your mods,,, & adding links is really gonna help,, once I get my bike!

Waiting for delivery is killing me! But,, riding year round will probably make up for it!

EmpulseRider:
Huge thanks Shiny. I got a short list of "farkles" now and I dont even have the bike yet.

Louder horn
HID
Parking brake
Frame sliders

And a black tank cover so I can swap between white and black. ;D

To get the rear wheel up on a stand, you need to attach something to the swingarm, right? I think it's called a "swingarm spool".

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:

How should I go about selecting one?

* Do they have standard threads, or do I need to be careful to find one that matches the bike?
* Is bike weight a factor?
* What advantages to the expensive ones ($100+) have over the cheap ones ($34)?

IMHO, spools are the way to go. They make it super easy. And it means that you can get super cheap alloy stands and just bend them to match your width. I can't find my favorite generic aluminum stands, but they look like simple versions of these.

You don't need spools with most double-sided swingarms. You can get something like this, which is what I used for my Enertia. The L-bracket stands work alright, but they do feel less stable.

Anyone know what size threads for spools and frame sliders are on the Empulse yet?
