Had the parts powdercoated, much better on the wallet.

For everyone- THANKS for the compliments!! I did a few of the items, but a majority of the work and credit goes to the guys at my local indy shop, The Bike Doctor. They really did a great job making this vision into what you see.

I've been kicking around the idea of putting on a tank lift. Just can't decide on the 2 or 3 inch lift... They sure do look nice.

Go with the 2" lift.....it's cheap, easy, no need to rewire anything, no draining the tank, and makes the bike have a totally different line.

My dad and I installed the lift in 10 minutes over the weekend (old pic in my sig). I think it's easier with two people.....one lifting the tank and the other putting the bracket on.

Ask Jackyl if he'll ship one to Spain for you.

I'll have to talk to him about shipping using USPS to an FPO address as we have a stateside address and it's not international. I think I may very well go with the 2" lift. Draining the gas is a pain.
