Default Almost done! (Pics Inside) - Possible 56k Death

I purchased the bike in Feb. and have slowly but surely been doing upgrades to the bike to better fit me.

Here is what the Sporty looked like when I got her.



So.... this is a list of everything that has been done to her and how much it has cost me.

Removed Tank Emblems - + $42.50 (made money as I sold them on ebay)

Removed Tank Trim - + $35.00 (made money as I sold it on ebay)

Removed Stock FWD Control Peg Mounts - + $10 (made money as I sold it on the forum)

Removed Laydown Plate Mount - + $20 (made money as I sold it on the forum)

5" Extended Forward Controls - $55 for parts / $45 for labor

Progressive 412 Heavy Duty Shocks - $200

Bobbed Rear Fender & Modified Front Fender - $35 labor

Side Mount License Plate - $60 shipped

Modified Throw Over Saddle Bag(s) - $40 shipped

Corbin Hollywood Solo Saddle - $135 (purchased from this board used)

Satin Black Paint Job - $225 out of the garage of a friend of the guy who does my welding (nice work btw)

Willie G Tank Emblem - $20 for 4 of them

Willie G Pegs & Shifter **** - $60

Total - $770.00 (so far)

And now... the finished product
