Default My '48. Behold a pale horse. Death sat upon it and hell followed him

My bike so far...

Air Cleaner: Roland Sands Design Nostalgia Venturi

Exhaust: Vance & Hines Hi-Output Grenades

ECM: Vance & Hines Fuel Pak 3 (FP3)

Overall I am very pleased with the results. Now have to go for an hour or two ride on my day off to auto tune. FP3 didn't have the Grenade exhaust option, so V&H customer service suggested using Short Shots Staggered and auto tuning from there. Even before auditioning I have ZERO decel pops.

Next up to do are a few aesthetic things, then seat, then suspension....and hopefully by next spring/summer change wheels and tires to fatter/wider variants (thank you wachuco for your in depth postings on this).

(Sorry if picture quality is low. They were taken on my phone and uploaded by my phone)

My buddy has a white tank. In fact, his '48 is what made me pull the trigger on mine. Was wanting a black tank, but 2014 did not offer that color. But alas, the deep dark red has really grown on me and I love it. However the last thing I plan on doing is having the tank painted/hydrographic/cerakote in Kryptek Tyhoon.

That's a great color. I'll have to look up the new one you mentioned. I like everything you've done with it.

It's called Blackened Cayenne. Very deep red that glitters under light.

All of 48 tanks are beautifully painted.

Black tank is offered in every year since 2010 when the first 48 showed up.

I own the tank in original black, but to me 48's tank is a huge part of what makes that bike and black just blends too much into the background.
