Wow nice tag placement. How or what did you get to do that? The tag does look awkward in it's stock placement.

You have to remove the rear fender and take apart the wire harnesses for both the tag light and tail light. Fish the wires through the hole then reassemble harnesses. Then I drilled out the hole (slightly) in the tag frame to allow the proper size bolt for passenger peg to fit through. All done.

just sat on a slim at the dealer. can't believe how low it sits. it was a denim black. it's nice but my only complaint is that the trans and derby cover wasn't chrome while the exhaust was chrome. i just thought that it looked funny that way.

They said that they were trying to strip the bike down a bit and focus more on the new engine. That makes me think they were trying to go away from the flash a bit. It is pretty damn low stock but I think there are some people on here that want to lower the thing even lower. Personally I like the amount of chrome on the bike. I've seen some mod's done to it to take away even more chrome "Blacked out pipes and such".
I would like to set some apes, 2 in 1 blacked out exhaust and some bags on it. Some thought to a wider tire on the back also. If I have one problem with the bike, it would be the rear tire size..
