Looks nice, I like the setting of the first pic witht he beer cans scattered around giving the sense of a hard days work...

That seat looks comfy too.

not sure where you get it but Lon (thumperclone) has a front light cowl that goes round top front of rim you might like - sure he'll read this & let you know. also he bought some chorme trim (I think it's stuff that goes on car doors) that he put round the front mudguard.

thanks........

The trim was very easy to apply, and the seat is just the stock seat, I do find it very comfortable.......

my pipes are discolored a bit, but im figuring that is just one of those things.........heat related.........

I was wondering if that same trim would work on other areas like fender etc.........the metal seems rounder and thicker on the edge....

anyone have a windshield? how much do they weigh......disadvantages? do they help much with the rain or make things worse?

The beer cans scattered around, the thanks goes out to my husband Rich the "bud man" note the number 8 chair in the back ground.......lots of nascar stuff hanging around here....

Take care;

Sue

I'm thinking Greg said his wife had it on her front fender, but he neglected to post pics, as I recall.

I have a universal windshield. Easy off/on. Weighs next to nothing, Saved my rear in a rainstorm. Takes the wind off your chest as well.

Thanks for the interest and comments, I dont like to blend in I like to stand out in a crowd, which is why I removed the makers marks and am trying to make it my own, slowly .

this is a link to a photo from one of the bike events a few months ago with some of my club members and my best friend gigi.

enjoy......

It doesn't fit quite as easily, but it does work pretty well.  I had it on both of my fenders before I swapped for the trailer fender and removed the front fender.

cool, I got the tank piece on ebay would local auto places carry such an item as well?

thanks!

I know the Autozone around here carries it, so you can probably find it at other auto shops.  If nothing else, you can fall back on JCWhitney for it.
