Nice touch on the derby cover.
I am considering pin striping for my tank and rear fender, something subtle.

I'm installing a 1" shorter kickstand because I've almost knocked my bike over twice now. Always something!

Thanks Joe and it is looking damn good! I think what really sets your bike apart is that gold kick stand spring !!

for the guage lights: I got a buddy here that does them, charges i think $50 a guage, he does them for customers that we are doing coating on trim rings for. they are already apart may as well change them up ya know

for the floor boards i got them on ebay i think like $50, then moved the lower mount forward 1" to allow the board to move back as a whole 1", from there added the heel guard and fab'd up a heel toe shifter

Awesome report.

How do you think it would work with just buying those air shocks and using a hand pump to adjust-Not using the compressor?

How would you say the air shocks ride compared to stock shocks?

if you are going to do that, just do stock touring shocks, they bolt right up.

That bike is sick dude, love the whole look. And now I am really thinking about doing my gauge lights, that looks great on yours.
