I am still thinking about that... but I think that it might be too many different shades of brown if I do that.

I am sending the stock seat to Mean City Cycles for some inner modifications...that would be the time to do the brown leather cover... and I also have the Harley spring seat from the 48...

Or maybe do it black and distress brown... since the bike has both colors...

Like I said, still thinking about it... I need to see if I can find photos of Slims with brown/distressed brown recovered stock seats...

Since the guard is curved, I can only install the lights on the top...

I really have to stop reading this thread. You're going to cost me a fortune!

The engine guards are now catching my eye, especially the lighted versions.

If you do go that route, get the guard that has a side section that is straight... Mine are installed on the top section since it is the only straight section on this guard. Just using what I have in the garage. Guard has been hanging on the garage wall for a few years...

Are we talkin bout built in directionals for the engine guards? Where do this plug into and will this allow me to either ditch or find a better purpouse for the stock units?

I believe they are Cirius LED Engine guard lights. Usually they're used for
extra road lights. They do not come with a switch and instructions only to
wire to a good ground and +12v source, so how you want it wired is up to you.
Hopefully I have not misspoken on Wachuko's intent for these LEDs.
