Looks good. But you should think about slamming the rear fender and ditching the driving lights.

Looks great! My bike is undergoing some surgery right now too....

Question:

do you have any issues with rocks flying off the front tire due to lack of front fender?

Coaster, The rear end is all the way down with the lowering kit. Trust me that was the first thing I looked at.

If you want something really bad, go with the open CHAIN primary. If you do go with the open primary, are you going to go with a three inch, or stick to old school 1.5 inch? Leave the clutch plate open.
