Pure sweetness Papa! Very happy to have inspired the new look. That back wheel is tight and those mirrors will be making there way on mine pretty soon. SUBSCRIBED!

Those spokes don't look powder coated...or is "candy black" more of a gun metal color?

Not too big of a fan of fairings though. Thought about getting the lower fairing, but not sure.

can't wait to see this done papa....
No clips of the pipe, but a ton online from other guys. I know Soapcreek has one. Rearsets are expensive, and not sure if they would hit my pipe. Still doing research on them. As for the fender, chopping off about 2" at a very low angle. Don't want to chop off too much. Can't wait for it to be done either. Been waiting over a month for my shocks to be built and shipped to me from Traxxion Dynamics.

Sorry master, bars were sold about a month ago.

Yup, they look like a gunmetal/black chrome. Didn't want to go straight black as I wanted some contrast. In the sun, they still shine like a mother.

Yes, rearsets WILL hit your exhaust. You will need to replace it to make them fit

I'm looking at the sato racing ones...the storz hit for sure. not sure about the chainsickles. I've examined every pic there is to see. I know the sato ones are adjustable. hmmm

yeah sato makes quality **** papa but rearsets might be hard to find and you may want to look at more euro companies. did you search xlforums? i took a quick look and found a thread from a guy who installed the chainsickles. might be helpful.

**EDIT**-of course you searched xlforums...i just saw your posts on that thread. oh well i tried.....lol

Trust me, I've looked everywhere for rearsets. I even personally went to Storz shop to see if we can test fit them.

Yeah, looks like the chainsickles will definitely hit. Dr. V-twin will hook up a great price on the sato racing ones for me, so I can get them cheaper than retail. I won't change my pipe, so if I do get them and they hit, I will shorten the brake pedal so it won't hit.

Can someone out there just get the sato racing ones and try it out first before I get em? Just a thought

Here are the Satos...cleanest looking out there, come with the reservoir cap, and also come in BLACK.
