I think it would look outstanding on your bike. I am considering adding one myself once I put on some apes.

Your bike looks good either way, tight or tall.

Hang around ******* and have a ball. If you get a itching to post then go nuts!


Oh yea and ever since we lifted the front of my tank up to get to the wiring better when the apes were being put on, I saw what it looked like and liked it. I have been thinking about a tank lift also.
