Good looking bike. I'm kinda partial to the denim silver myself... Bars look real good and I like the 3" tank lift. I went with a 2" lift, how bad does the 3" throw off your gas gauge?

sorry 4 the bad but i just don't get the pipes. They don't follow any lines and make it more difficult to check the oil or open the 6 speed side cover let alone hide those items lines. If you like 2 into 1, Get a TH or another with a straight ending tip.

Is that a brawler seat on your bob? How do you like it and which passenger pillion is that? Cant decide if I want to to the Brawler or a LePera Bare Bones. Bike looks sick bro!

Take care and Ride safe

The 3 inch lift wasn't hard, but you have to replace the gas crossover line, and the vacuum line with longer ones. The Vacuum line is a snap, the gas line is easy too, but remember to run your bike till its just about empty before you change your crossover line. I made the mistake of doing it with about 3/4 of a tank. It takes FOREVER to drain the tank through those little nipples at the front/bottom of the tank. The back isn't lowered...yet lol. I'm gonna do the headlight for now at least, and see how I like it. I can always change it back, but something about the dual small lights just doesnt look right to me anymore. Probably because everything else is fat and thick.

When we were changing out the bars on mine we raised the tank to get access to the wires and I stepped back and looked and it did look pretty good. I am just concerned if it makes you lose access to any gas with it like that. I know it will screw up the fuel guage which isn't a big deal because it's not always accurate anyways (although mine does usually come on after using about 3.5 gallons)

I'm not sure if it makes you lose access to any gas, because I just filled it. Tomorrow will be a nice long ride so I can give you an update then. I think it might lose a little access because the lift seems to bring the crossover up above the back end of the tank. Maybe lose a quart of gas or so, but I'll let you know.

How do you do that? Do they just pull off? I don't want any adhesive crap on my baby!

In short, its useless...lol. It never was much good before though.

That is a bone stock brand new takeoff 2010 Wide Gilde seat I bought on here from member FiftyFathoms. $85 bucks shipped, and IMO it looks WAY better than the stock seat. My girlfriend hates it though. The pillion is tiny, so I'm keeping my stock seat for when she rides with me. We've been loking into getting her a Sporty, so she can ride her own, and I can go to a solo seat and lose the passenger pegs.

Thanks for checking out my bike and giving me feedback everyone!
