I am still thinking about that... but I think that it might be too many different shades of brown if I do that.
I am sending the stock seat to Mean City Cycles for some inner modifications...that would be the time to do the brown leather cover... and I also have the Harley spring seat from the 48...
Or maybe do it black and distress brown... since the bike has both colors...
Like I said, still thinking about it... I need to see if I can find photos of Slims with brown/distressed brown recovered stock seats...

Since the guard is curved, I can only install the lights on the top...
Both lights on... spot for drilling the holes are marked... now to remove, drill and tap, drill the holes to route the wires.... and take it Monday to the local powder coating shop...

The engine guards are now catching my eye, especially the lighted versions.

If you do go that route, get the guard that has a side section that is straight... Mine are installed on the top section since it is the only straight section on this guard. Just using what I have in the garage. Guard has been hanging on the garage wall for a few years...

Are we talkin bout built in directionals for the engine guards? Where do this plug into and will this allow me to either ditch or find a better purpouse for the stock units?

I believe they are Cirius LED Engine guard lights. Usually they're used for
extra road lights. They do not come with a switch and instructions only to
wire to a good ground and +12v source, so how you want it wired is up to you.
Hopefully I have not misspoken on Wachuko's intent for these LEDs.
