Thank you. Everything is documented in this thread... start at page 10 It is not a bolt on modification... some work is required to make it all fit...

Nice! Just got mine. Where did you get black caps for detachable bolts?

On my way to pick up the bottle holder to do what this guy did:

Took a few photos before heading out. No additional changes made outside of the flag.

Photos without the shield.

I still want to get a matching toolbag. Need to powder coat black all the chrome pieces from the shield. Want to try to send the stock seat to MeanCycles before I look at something else with a backrest... Will look for stock mufflers to modify the internals and I think that is it...

Modified a bolt I had to make it shorter and also modified the head to make it smaller so that it would fit in the bottle holder. Some black paint and we are done with the bolt. Drilled a 3/8" hole in the bottle holder bracket and installed it on the bike.

Nothing else. The only mods I have pending are the tan leather center strap to match the side bag; tool bag in front in the same tan leather finish....and maybe a matching seat (but thinking of just redoing the stock seat on matching leather as well...)

Done with mods on this one... gas, oil, brake pads, and tires for now on.
