I was thinking that too. Love the rear fender you got there.
Curious to what you end up doing with the plate... When you figure it out, please share with the group.

Is it just me or does the gas tank look high in the last photo? Are you sure it's not sitting on top of the mounting pegs? I'd hate to see the front end dent the tank at full lock. Looks pretty close though.

Yeah I raised it up with some thicker rubber.. I preferred the line as it went down into the seat. Doesn't cause any problems at full lock, but yes.. its close

Here's a couple more pics I took on my proper camera... shows the line I wanted better.

I really love the way the tank sits. It looks hot without the console. Really badass.

I used to ride around without the dash when I was rejetting. The only thing I didnt like about it is the huge dent they put in the tank. I'd be going nuts trying to explain it to people when they compliment the bike. "oh yeah thats a factory dent"..."what?"...blah...blah..blah

Looks like you kept that dent out of the pics floyde..haha

Lol yeah... although I will fill it in. I took the dash off and didn't want to grind the fittings away until I was sure I liked it... I wouldn't stick the dash on again now.. that plastic chrome effect dash was pants (on my bike). Just getting a small billet thing made up to house the indie lights etc.
