I took off the chrome saddle bag protectors and smoked the short winshield already but i have the tall windshield and the bag protectors in the garage put up that way if i ever decide to sell her i have all the stock parts to go with her, i wont chop her all up tho shes too nice a bike for that, but the paint needs a lil tlc the bags have some chips and the fairing has some scratches and a small dinger in the tank, so im just gonna freshen her up this winter ill post more picts as i go

My thoughts exactly. Really getting sick of seeing the big 21"+ wheels on these bikes. BUT it's yours do what you want with it!

Yeah I dig the look of that bike as it is, definitely something I would like to come across if I was in the market for a bagger. If I had intentions similar to yours, I would have sought out someone's molested cluster f*** and straighten it out and make it mine.
Nice bike, keep us posted....
