Long time lurker and infrequent poster here.
It was a nice day here in PA so I got the bike cleaned up and the oil changed for the season. I also thought I'd get out the camera and snap a few pics before she got dirty again.
I've pretty much tinkered with just about everything on this bike. She was originally Goodwood Green, but I got a great deal on a Speedmaster tank with the paint you see. I thought it looked cool so I patiently waited for a cheap rear fender and front fender to come up on Ebay and then chopped and painted to match. I still have the Green tins to change back if I like.
I'd like to thank the many people on this site who've helped me with questions and given me ideas and inspirations to do all the mods I've done. Every mod I've done is "borrowed" from someone else so "thank you". I debating going with the battery relocation kit, but I hate to lose the "hidden" compartment that I have with the freak kit.
Regarding the paint; the guy who did it screwed up the black on the fenders by not cleaning out his spray gun well enough after the red. The result was a cool eggplant colored metallic flake that is only visible in bright sunlight. It looks black otherwise. I thought it was cool looking so he sprayed the tank to match. He took some artistic liberty with the front fender. I wanted it to match the rear fender, but what you see is what he came up with. I'm not sure I like it? He would have changed it but I wanted them back sooner than later and figured it wasn't "bad" and would grow on me. One year later I'm still not sure. Overall his work was good and cheap so I'm happy.
Here she is:

I also have a pillion and sissy bar/luggage rack for the rare occasion my missus wants to come along.
Cheers!
