First off, I'm not one to critique a bike, I think if you're happy with the fit, performance and looks then that's all that matters.

The bike looks really good overall, areas that aren't for me are the chunky front fairing although I'm sure it works much better than a smaller one. The rear fender, license plate mount and tailight... just not a fan of that look, tail light seems oddly out of proportion with the fender. Future forward powder coat the forks.

Love the sissy bar, seat, handlebars!

Not my style with the sissy bar and that style intake. Other wise I like it.

Be careful driving through any sandstorms with that (lack of) air filter! Unless there's something hidden in there.

Looks good to me. Nice and straight forward. I agree the plate interrupts the rear a bit. It'd be nice to move or minimize it. Could black out the fork lowers? Overall it does a nice job of having a style without over thinking or over working it. Looks like a healthy rider rather than a fashion plate (says a guy with red rims and WW tire). Thumbs up.


My neck hurts a little from trying to see them right side up...just sayin

+1 on the tail light...the stocker is a bit large for the fender. Something a little more low profile or flush might be nice. Black is bad *** on any planet, so no problems there.
