Finished my last few mods today.
I'm planning on my first road trip of the year next weekend. Planning on riding up to the Ohio Valley and surprise my Mother for Mothers Day. Probably leave on Friday and return on Monday. Figured I'd better get off my dead *** and finish things up.
With the last couple of weeks I've swapped my sixteen inch clear Windvest for my fourteen inch tinted. Knocks down the glare and puts a little more wind in your face. I swapped back to my tall sissybar so I can easily hang luggage on it. I moved my turn sigs off the forks down to the highway pegs to clean up the front end a little bit and installed a flush mount fuel gauge and cap.Today I swapped the stock vivid black headlite shell for a chrome one and installed a cigarette lighter so I can recharge my portable GPS and installed a mounting pad on the console for the Gps.
Reckon I'm ready to ride for the summer.
Good Luck
Tom

Looks good. I like the gps mount. Where did you get it? Also I've been looking for a cigaret lighter plug. Does it plus into your battery tender?
Also I like the pin stripes I'm looking to get some done myself

Do you think the tom tom will stay suctioned on in the wind? or do you have a different type of mount?
I have a tom tom one, much better than the garmin in my opinion. I was thinking about mounting it on with a velcro strap of some kind.

The cig plug is just a cheapo from an auto parts store. Mounted it to the ground strap bolt with a little extension bracket to offset it to the left so the mount that comes with it would clear the starter. I just ran the wires up to the battery terminals.
Good Luck

I ran about three hundred miles with it suctioned to my tach face one time and it didn't go anywhere.
Good Luck

I kinda rigged those pipes up myself. My bike is lowered so much that the pipes I had left the whole swingarm exposed. Those are Paughco belltips with a fifteen degree upsweep. The upper muffler slips on the rear header and I had a muffler shop make an extension from 1 3/4 exhaust pipe that slips on the front header pipe and then I used an eighteen inch heat shield to cover the bare pipe. I just bolted the two pipes together at the rear with some chrome strap I had laying around after bending them to fit.
Turned out ok for shade tree engineering.
Good Luck
