I just installed the headlight today, so I can't give you a real opinion yet. I think it's pretty cool have the turn signals installed in the head lamp. Cleaned up the handle bars. I need to wash her, she hasn't has a bath since the Laughlin run.
I'm surprised you noticed the leaned back bars. I like the lowered look. I still going to switch out the bars. I just trying to decided which bars to go with. I had previously purchased a set of 17" apes, but they just didn't fit the look. So they went up on ebay when the came back from powder coat.
I agree with you about the black. I do need a contrasting color. I have a buddy who does custom pin stripping, I just want to make sure I get my new fenders installed before I pull the friend card. I don't him to have to do it twice. I was thinking about using some flat black and red striping.

I'd add some black brake/clutch levers. The only things I wouldn't have done are the headlight trim ring (the stock one fits the character better to me) and the emblem delete - I'd do something subtle like the one below maybe - but really these are just my tiny personal nitpitcks, the bike is rad as is...

Nice mods, I see where you going with this, may I suggest some black caps for those bolt nuts, cheap and make big difference.
My slim is going through some drastic changes, albeit in a whole different direction, will post Picts when done, I'm a little nervous as I'm playing with modern and retro at the same time.. Wish me luck so it sure as hell wasn't cheap!!!
