Have you got the bike squared away yet?
The things you want to do are pretty easy and straight-forward.

I am willing to help you out with it, assuming you bring the bike over with the parts.

Bleeding the brakes = 30 minutes
Replacing the dogbone = 30 minutes
Rear Pegs = 30 minutes
Shortening the wheelbase = 1 hour

I've got all the tools and equipment needed.

* Note: All estimates are + / - 150% *

Cecil's a good man! rep! Seriously man, take up the offer and get it ALL done in a single day. Just make a list of what you need (fluids and shit) and head over. You'll feel like ur on a brand new machine being able to carve corners.

yup. like i said, i gotta that link measurement. 6.5" from center to center on the holes and they are 1 5/8" in diameter. If you want it Ill be outta town till sunday evening but if your gonna do the north run this weekend ill give you my addy and tell my room mate where i put it to give to you.

ill just go to some random bike place and get a master link here soon, and some DOT4, and yeah im pretty sure that is shorter than mine so it would / might work. if not i could allways order the stock one from honda right? i could pick it up but i work all weekend, i could swing by and get it and compair and contrast lmao?

So i called up a few places to see how much the stock (dogbone) was and barnyes told me 141.75 with all the bushings and whatnot.
called westcoast and they sayed 123.83 . does this seem correct for a OEM new part? also the masterlinks like 10.00ish right? so for under 150 dollars i could be rollin stock? not as bad as i thought it would be.

does all this shit sound right?
