Default Winter mods finally starting

Got a late start on my winter mods because of some other things but parts have been bought now.

Going to put on a LR tank with 2010 WG dash and flush mount gauges.

New handlebars (undecided ATM) with Heat demons installed while I have it apart

While I am getting the tank I bought painted I am going to have the taillight shaved and fender repainted as well.

Getting excited to get started

Lots of parts for sale in the classifieds as well to fund my project.

Cool, can't wait to see this.

BB, if you don't mind, what's the whole tank setup going to run you? Is it a new tank or a dinged up one that you're going to fix?

Been kickin this idea around myself. You are going to do a write up for us with all the parts involved, right?

I picked up a used tank that doesnt need painted for $150 plus shipping. I am going to paint it anyway because I want it solid black with no logo and it has the LR emblems on it and pinstriping.

Its going to run over $500 for everything else to go on the tank. It could be done cheaper depending on which parts you use. The WG dash is high and regular gas caps would be cheaper etc.

Will order the rest of the parts this weekend and buy some as needed so will let you know when done.

Going to remove the taillight and have the hole in the fender filled in and painted. My turn signals are already set-up to be taillights.
