Looking sweet! Check out the Pirelli Night Dragons. I have rode them for years on my sporty and will be fitting them on my FXFBS. I find them to provide great traction and they are a little stepper than stock so a bit quicker turn in.

Default Not Rocket Science but. . .

I saw some post awhile back about caps for the bolts on the riser/handlebar clamp. I finally got around to ordering black bolts vice covering them. This has been annoying me for awhile and I just wanted to pass along the fastner info:
