New Progressive 412s on back.

New front brake disk

removed sticker on right side cover and added cool "Firefly/Serenity" gold decals
.
chrome battery cover (man they are getting hard to find!) with a metal union jack classic Triumph buckle fitted to it.

chrome chain gard

phone mount

USB charger attached to battery and run up to phone.

"Custom Fitted" pouch on left side of windshield (point and shoot camera case that works great)

LED dash lights and speedo light.

Cocktail shaker pipes / Titanium wrap on headders.

Yet to be done. (Things I have to get the shop to do)
