So far I've found a Cobra after market tail rack that is awesome. Put on some 33" fishtails from Sampson, S&S teardrop breather, Screaming Eagle tuner. I added some more chrome here and there (lots more to find), Have a few different seats so i can figure out which rides best... I commute on this bike, the sundowner is nice but not "the look" Added all chrome controls.... good luck finding those little switch covers in chrome...damn. Stainless wire weave spark plug wires and clutch and brake cables the same. In pursuit of a chrome license plate holder that sits below the tombstone taillights.

I'm not sure there is a plate holder yet for under the tail light. As of @3 months ago, they didn't exist. They did for the previous models but not this one, and yes, they are different. I made my own from a piece of alluminium I had floating around.

Think you might have your Port and Starboard confused - Port is the left side.

just received a call from the dealer with the trade numbers for my 17 slim s towards a 2020 deluxe.It was alot better then I thought,I just have to make the decision if this is the right move.I really like my slim s but I'm really impressed with the 2020 deluxe.Hands down the deluxe handles better then the 17 slim and the 107 m8 impressed me on the test ride.Looks like I have a lot of thinking to do.

Could you please show a full side view from either side of the bike? The shot of the Samson site is not the best at showing the 33" length. Thanks!
Yours is looking great BTW!
