RE: New pipes and dash installed with pics
Streetbobrob- you can get your dash powder coated thats all mine is. I was lucky enough to buy one from a forum member already done so I just had to swap them out. I do have my stock one on ebay if you are interested and don't want any down time.
Cage996- I lowered my forks in the trees about an 1" for now. I have had the progressive 412 11" shocks in back for a while now and wanted to level it out. It was quick and easy to do. When I change my fork oil I'll drop in the progressive front kit instead but for now this will do. I have had no issues with bottoming out and since it is lowered the same front and back it handles like stock just with a lower center of gravity.

Got the pipes installed last night and took it for a ride today. What a differance. These look so much better then what I had before. They are the Vance & Hines Black Sideshots. I also used the Fuel Pack. I know there is alot of opinions on it but I decided to use it and it worked great. I got the settings off of fuelpackfi.com and I have had no popping at all. It was a little tight to get in but the video on thier website was a big help.
I also installed a new dash. I bought it from JRK5892 and it is a Street Bob dash powdercoated gloss black. I think it looks alot better and matches the overall look that I have going.

RE: New pipes and dash installed with pics
Is the gas capemblem covering up the window on your fuel gauge or do you have a different cap? I love those gas cap emblems and was thinking about getting them and cutting a little window in one of them to be able to see the gauge through it. Maybe even cut out the star. I don't know why they don't make one like that.
