joe track down someone that has a set of take off street bob shocks! you will LOVE THEM!!! plus you can prob get them for free!!! i put them on my bro sporty, when i went with my air ride, they are a much beefy'r look and have a nicer ride, if you set them at the softest setting, i think you will like them very much! i like the flat white paint, i am really digging that, heat wrap them pipes brother, complete the look! very nice! i like it i really do... how about some pics of that ducuti?

I noticed how clean the front wheel was even before I read that part of your post. At first I thought you had gotten new wheels... Big difference.

I agree that the blacked out crossover pipe is a very nice touch.
Great work!

your bike looks cool Joseph. For some reason when i look at it, i'm reminded of being a kid in the 70's playing with my race car set. Imagine how badass a set of VH side shots would look on your bike.

Yeah too bad they don't make em for our older bikes. The rear master cyl would be in the way.

thanks for the comments on it guys.

I took it to 100MPH for the very first time today..

it got there so fast.... i was stunned.

i was racing a sportbike on the I-10, the freeway was empty.

he topped out at 90 something. i passed him up then slowed to change onto the 605 to go to work.

it felt so good! i leaned down low over the tank and felt the wind change from pushing me back to flowing over me, and the world seemed to slow and i didnt feel any vibration or anything. it was this unreal feeling.

and the fact the bike still has alot of speed after that is amazing.

how fast is a sportsters high speed roll on? 50 to 90 took what seemed like all of 1 second. this was maxing out the throttle, i just gave it hell and held on

anyway, now traveling at anything under 85 feels like nothing, after feeling the wind at 100, im not bothered by lower speeds.
