I bought this bike used in August 2013 with 2500 miles on it. Since then I've been "personalizing" it somewhat. Sometimes for looks and sometimes for safety.

Some of the changes are, new horns, chopped rear fender, different tail light, different rear signal lights, different color front signal lights and lenses, a Dart shield then a Bullet shield, brighter instrument panel lights, decals, Corbin seat, modulated headlight, headlight visor, clock, air temp gauge, grips, and my next addition will be additional front lights.

nice bike, that bullet fairing looks decent on the bike, never really cared for the look until this one. Nice work. New black mirrors would be nice too. :-)

Thanks, it's a Memphis Shades and I bought it from a member here who had a Speedmaster in 2012 and sold the bike. He had a thread here and there were a few comments on it then. Some plus some minus.

I contacted him and was lucky enough buy it from him as he still had it. Memphis Shades doesn't list a bracket for it and he had adapted a prior screen bracket and it works great.

It provides more coverage that than the Dart and is just about perfect for a rather unobtrusive screen.

It's probably a love it or hate it kind of thing.

Thanks, I'm not a blacked out kind of guy. I'm sort of old school on the chrome thing.

I'm trying for a contrasty juxtaposition of red, black and chrome.

But like I say, it's a work in progress. A year from now the whole damn thing could be black.

By the way I grew up in Red Deer. Live in Northern California now. I had season tickets for the Oilers. Was at the game when they won their first cup in 83-84 ish.
