such a nice bike, I would hav ebought that myself,, it blows my mind how much money people put into these things and never ride them.

I wouldn't powdercoat anything other than the rear turn signals and the front forks. pleas don't powder coat that headlight, that would be a crime.

Thanks guys I am loving it so far and put about 125 miles on it yesterday. Second time riding it I got pulled over by a State Cop because I forgot to flip out the license plate, luckily he did just give me a warning however the inspection ran out last month so I do need to get that done in the next few days. I did give it a good wash last night and must have went overboard on the water as I think I got the electrical connections wet. It didn't wanna run this morning.

As far as powder coating I want to do the signals, possibly the heat guards on the pipes, and forks. As far as the headlight I am not sure what I want to do with that, and was possibly looking at adding a daytripper light. I want something brighter then what is on it.

Congrats on the scoot. I have a '13 and love it. I have the Burly slammer shocks on mine and really glad I did it. Makes the bike look much better IMO.
