I like the look of the trackers but on longer rides, my neck and back get tired from leaning forward and my hands get pretty tired from supporting my weight. I just bought a set of Burly 14" apes so that should take car of the comfort issue. I got the new Kyurykn Kenitic grips, throttle boss, and a pair of micro mini Arlen Ness oval mirrors. I'll be painting the fenders fenders to match the 3.3 gallon Nightster tank I just finished, and the apes will go on as soon as I get the Burley cable kit in the mail. That should hold me over for this season.

It was painted on with Eastwood blvd black before the clear. I changed up the lettering and cut it out on my plotter from a paint mask vinyl.

Looks awesome! I dunno man, I'm REALLY liking the black fenders with the orange tank. I think you should leave the skins as is. It helps bring the attention to the tank and the awesome paint. Just my .02

I was hoping to see this bike after your showed off the tank. Very nice. I think the other tins could use a touch of color, maybe a 2" strip down the center? With matte pin strips in black before hitting the glossy?

Either way you go, that bike is very nice. You'll love those apes, super comfortable.

I agree with the two tone paint. What kind of seat is that? Looks good and comfy!

Thats a killer ride. Love that color on the tank. I would consider a 2" black stripe paint on the fenders with the orange around it. I would also black out the rest of the bike no chrome at all.

+1 on the apes I out 17s on my EGC and now riding a full tank is no problem before i had to stop about every hour because my back would be hurting.
