Well with the nice weather today I was dying to take a ride and tinker with the bike. I took a quick spin and blacked out the front heatshield and the axle nut covers, what do you think, I personally love the black pipes. I roughed up the heatshields with some sandpaper and used 1300-2000 degree exhaust pant then used another hi temp paint to get the shade of black I wanted

Hey guys thanks again for the wonderful compliments. bosken the sissy bar looks ok but it's really not my style. The seat is not too comfortable to be honest with you guys but in my opinion you can't beat the look. The ring around the speedo is a chrome ring that has some 3M tape on it and it just sticks to the speedo, I spray bombed it black. It actually takes some of the glare off the speedo and now I can see when I run low on gas as well as the 6th gear light. I was actually thinking of putting some window film over the speedo to black that out a little too, I think that would look super cool........what do you think????
