Yeah the flush ones are really suiting your style man, bet your getting rather excited, now your on the last run?
Chap - I can't wait to roll her out and hear the new sound, feel the suspension and new fit of everything. I'm going to have to learn her all over again. Dang, wonder if that work with....ah nevermind! LOL

Mark - Thanks for your behind the scenes help and encouragement! I am glad I went ahead and ordered this mod. I never watched my old gauge to often anyway...but I wouldn't mind getting the speedo light swapped out to match.

Dirty - Thanks man! I know the feeling, drooling over bikes like OS Deluxe's is what made me go off the deep end!! LMAO I couldn't help it and the timing worked out great for me to do this.

Benway - Thanks! It does make a huge difference.

I wasn't sure and was thinking at least the little gas pump should light, but I'll probably get some gas tonight or tomorrow and check it out then. I've checked the wires a couple of times and everything checks out so I'll post later when I fuel her up. Thanks!

prldrm - Thanks man! You could just not hook it up and it will just look like a smooth cap? I would have really liked to have upgraded the speedo, but that'll have to be put off for a while because I've busted the ***** off my piggy bank.

elbohead - Thanks and your welcome! It is really a great mod. I later found you can get the Kuryakyn brand kits for less $$.

Received the floorboards and shifter/brake pedal today! The boards and pedals are huge compared to the pics on the vendor sites...lol YAY almost there, but still no word on my brakes!

My next tat!


Those Cholos are gonna be killa! May need to get some longer bolts to keep that center stand. The samsons come with 1 1/4" bolts for the muffler hangers so maybe add another 1/4" and get some 1 1/2" bolts to keep that bad *** center stand. Will it clear the pipes when up? Almost looks like it might in the pictures, but it's kind of hard to tell.

Now throw down some more jack and get them flush mounts!

That's good lookin out, NC'D. I'll take care of the CenterStand. If I have to lose it, not really a big deal. I'd rather have the cholos.

I'll make it work!!!

Now for anotha shotta jack
