Plans going forward:
bobbing the rear fender and adding a sparto tail light
Long term plans are to powder coat the rims red.

The seat:
Suprisingly as comfortable as my Corbin solo.

Tom:
The bars are at a perfect height for me..
But, I agree. Those grips look sorta out of place

really needs gaiters on the forks... IMHO

Yep, that baby's screaming for some white football grips. Sure is pretty. I'd be tempted to remove the fork shrouds to enhance the bobber theme.

I think it is as close to perfection as I have seen here.

I will say, with those rear shocks, and the spring mounted LePera, it's a crazy ride.

Nice mount! Wondering... do you get a lot of bounce from that seat? Looks like it belongs on that bike.

The seat stays fairly rigid, however, due to the fact that you're really seated 'on it' rather then 'in it', I get bounced around pretty good.
I catch air pretty often.

+1 on the football grips. I went from the same Kuryakyn Grips to black football grips ...one of the better, cheaper mods....especially since I was able to sell the older Kuryakyn grips through here.

A White set would look great. I really like your future plans too...Red rims would look very nice.

Gaiters would muddy up the look, its nice and clean right now. The red rims would be sharp. I probably wouldnt be too quick to change the fender much, those some what shorter could be nice, especially with a simply bobber tail light and mini bullets on the rails for signals.
