Yes, never cared for stock. Hold onto em, never know a friend might need em. Hit a bird, took the mirror out?

Ok last post for a while, I think I’m done with mods for a bit to this bike, time to ride it. Took time this morning to change front tube to 6” over, wish I would have gotten 8 over now but this will work for now. Total mods on this bike in the last 2 weeks were lower rear suspension, new seat, added high rear pegs, tank lift 2”, 16” apes, fuel moto breather, power vision tune, new brake pads, bleeding & flushing both brakes and fork tubes with new fork oil & EMD headlight bucket. One last chance will be exhaust, thes screaming eagle slip on suck! Need some V&H short shots.

Thanks dennyo, your bike has given me some inspiration, I’d like to go lower in *** end but ride 2 up a lot so can’t slam it but plan to adjust it down some more later and preload it more so not to bottom out & I will remove struts and bob rear fender when I figure out what look I want back there with a tall sissybar. Oh yea and get rid of these POS slip on pipes.

After trolling around the Touring section 🤫 I decided to pull the trigger on a Freedom Shields Windshield for my Reckless Mess fairing. Installed it today and took a quick ride, this thing is amazing, I had a cheap 6" I could barely see thru and was way to short. I ordered their 8" Medium Grey Tint. I'm completely amazed how much cleaner and clearer this shield was over the last one, thick polished clean edges complete the look.
The ride quality is night and day. Do yourself a favor if you're running a fairing. Freedom Shields 👍🏻
