Personally I have never like VDC's in any way.

But that is very nice I must say, your choice of parts is perfect for the bike and makes it look so much leaner and faster.  Good build indeed.  :daumenhoch:

They do grow on you, strange beasts and kinda handsome in an ugly way.......if that makes sense....lol
