Today I picked up the battery cover, and the fuse box cover. Not quite sure what to think of them. The idea seemed good, until I saw it painted on the covers. I should have gone with a logo or flames or something insted.

I got the back fender mounted and the signals wired. I am using a run, turn, brake module to make the signals brake lights. Still have to put in the red lenses

rear fender looks great.

putting the name of the bike on ONE of the covers is a cool idea, though i think it'd look infinitely better pinstriped on by hand

everything's coming together so nicely tho man, great stuff.

i wana be unemployed like you lol

agree with your assessment of the covers. I would probably have scripted the name somewhere else and not been as bold as what you have on the covers... maybe a bit more of a tie in with the rest of the tins... But it is your bike and it is definitely looking great!

Default X covers

The covers are not in keeping w/ the rest of the bike. They appear to belong to a completely different bike. Anything else at all would be an improvement.

Love the wheels and the paint. Why didn't you bend the bars? Woulda' looked better. Only thing I'm not diggin' is the "name". A different font might have worked. Beautiful bike. Hope your wife enjoys it. Mine likes the one I put together for her, but nowhere near as nice as yours. Also agree with previous post about shock covers. Match 'em to the silver powder.

That bike is looking GREAT. It is all coming together so well. Can't wait to see the finished build.

PS - I love the bars. But the covers w/ ex-con script do look like they belong to a different bike.

Looking good mate. Wait until it's all together then decide about the covers. They look a bit much on their own but.....
