had not posted in a while on this thread. Not much change, few things, removed the front fender and added a zarape and swing arm bag!

I really like that blue color. Why did you lose the front fender? Thought it looked good on there. What brand front wheel and swingarm bag did you go with?

Good job. Yeah, that springer front end didn't do it for me either. Great color combo. However, I liked it better with front fender... jmho...

Glad you ditched the front fender. Bike looks much better without it. I'm also happy to see that you 86'd the funky springer. Copper belongs on tea kettles not motorcycles.

As far as the fender I went back and forth on keeping it or ditching it, for now, I'm gonna leave it off, I might go with a different front end, I was thinking a narrower front end, haven't seen one I liked yet.

The front rim is by BlackBikeWheels, and they are a great dudes! the rim is very nice and hope to get a rear one from them soon, but I still have not decided if I want to keep the 16" or move to an 18", choices...
