Looks in the photo like there's no air filter at all; that will definitely make it run different, especially if the exhaust is wide open, is that how you're riding it?

I really like the 3D effect of the red lettered *Twisted* on the side of the tank over the sparkly grey area. Is that a grey metal flake type paint or is it a clear coat over the blasted metal ?

Not bad at all.

I think if mine was in bare metal I'd have dressed the frame welds, although your frame appears to have better welds than mine to start with. I can hang a pencil on some of the "boogers" the factory left on it.

Keep an eagle eye on that factory headlight bucket. The plastic is pretty fragile. You might want to order a metal replacement just in case.

Since you don't have/need passenger pegs, you might want to put an extra exhaust brace in there. I ran mine with struts for awhile, constantly having to retighten the exhaust port nuts.

Renegade, any bike shop that has cruiser stuff should have that bag. Including dealerships with a smart (that means an actual rider) parts manager.
