That's a really nice looking build with some curious specs. For instance you don't usually see the Saint Dual Control levers/shifters used and the number of spacers under the stem is curious too. Do you need the bars that high? How tall are you?
The reason I have those levers is because they came on the bike even before my modificatinos. THey have a nice feel and I find it actually simple to shift and all. As for the spacers its because I didn't want to cut the fork's tube, never know if I wanna sell the fork or trade, I find its safer that way.

Holy bar height batman! Get them spacers outta there and you'll be set. Looks like a sick ride other than that.
Agreed! You bought the fork to use it, right? You can leave 10mm of spacer above the stem. Besides, you probably should get the bars lowered so you can more easily shift your weight forward in turns.

Sweet looking ride!
