So here are some pics of the bike i am open to suggestions and this is by far the best hobby i have ever had,

This was a month after i got it, i didn't take any pics the day i got it but i had already added the bags at this point. (came w/ sissybar & rack but i wasnt a fan.


then i did the seat and added the engine guard had the seat redone (thanks to fast eddy and chopper paul!! you guys are the best!


ended up flush mounting the bags.... no overlap.....


New lightbar kit w switch brought to dash and close ups of the new seat. The place i got this done at is great, good prices and great people anyone interested please pm me and i'll be happy to set ya up

added backrest for the long hauls

switch relocation to dash

the seat is a tuck and roll with sidewinder pattern and red threading

clutch cover badge

also added the rivco risers
need the apparel


Again thanks to fast eddy and chopper paul you guys came to bat when i needed ya. you guys rock.

Also wanna thank Phil for the lightbar kit. and marty noubarian for the risers

Friar john for all the advice and instruction

And everyone else that has given me anykind of advice or help.

They are great people and a pleasure to deal with. I had it reupholstered along with the rest of the seat. so its got the matching sidewinder and red stitched tuck and roll.

Like the bike and everything you have done to it. That red kinda looks like a "Reba".
