Just did more changes to my bike, so I thought I would start a "build" thread instead of having multiple ones all over. More than anything, so I can share pictures, though.  Grin

First off, heres my bike when I first got her last year:



She's been through a few different changes, just minor stuff. new turn signals, removing front fender, new handlebars, easy stuff. Then I tried struts, but had to go back to shocks, though I chopped them down about an inch.

Over the past week I made me a new sissy bar, had my new tires put on and painted the tank and fender. Not 100% happy with paint job, but it was a fast thing just to change it up some before a trip this Labor Day Weekend.

And now....some pictures:









I also put a Harley Dyna muffler on. A lot quieter and smoother sounding. I don't feel like i'm disturbing everyone in a 5 mile radius now.

And here's some shots from my ride back yesterday. Perfect weather.

I'm digging the whole spray bomb look that you've given the bike to make it your own. I did a quick spray bomb job on mine over 5 years ago and it's still holding up, but I really want to strip it down and start all over. I've seen so much more that can be done with spray bombs than I ever imagined since then.
Cool

Yea, I am already wanting to change it. Theres so many options and choices and I ended up just doing something spur of the moment and unlike anything I had thought about lol. The only thing I don't like is the rear fender is a pain to get on and off, and I can't change the back end of my bike due to my wife riding with me sometimes.
