Looks great! How'd you get the NIghtster headlight mounted up?
I know it seems petty, but the new FL law states that a side mounted license plate has to be read either left to right or top to bottom (yours is bottom to top) and that if it's mounted sideways you must have a Sunpass mounted to the bike. The fine? $1100!

Oh yeah, thanks for the compliments!

I was asked in another thread on the build costs. I'll put some rough numbers together. This doesn't count the multiple orders of stuff that I didn't use or sent back trying to find the right combinations of parts.
haha. I started out with a spreadsheet to track costs, but decided to just blow the budget. I was going to start with a '11 fat bob that would have been $12k before mods, so I'm way ahead of that.
Bike with registration- $4000
Samson exhaust- $600
Front end (springs, gold valves, wheel, tire, brake conversion, rotors)- $1300
Nightster bars, mirrors, headlight, new tach (mine was messed up) with black mount, black dash (2012 cables free from forum member)- $400
Ebay find- 2000 tin set with tank/fuel gauge- $750 with shipping
Bead blast rear wheel, pulley, new bearings, new tire- $450
Rear fender, paint, LED lights, badlands integrator- $550
Mustang seat- $225
Oil pressure gauge- $115
Tune up- all redline fluids, plugs, wires- $100
JRI shocks- $800
Figure $500 in various other stuff I can't remember
That's about $10,000 total.

Well I've ended up not really liking the "custom" rear fender. It doesn't look quite right and my black bike is lost in a sea of harley's at work. I wrestled her into the basement for some updates.
Soon to come- the original tins, powdercoat the wheels black, Lepera 2 up seat, reinstall passenger pegs. Loose the mids. More to follow....
