Thanks Cav. Yeah, the headlight needs something done to it. I like the stock one for it's old school look sitting between them fata$$ triple trees but it could sit out more...for sure. The lowering is a must. The feedback is great gents....really appreciate it.

I have been looking at pipes, and 2 into 1 seems the best for many reasons (looks would be the only debate reason for me). Just watch out what pipes you use if you drop it, as many pipes seem to scrape on lowered bikes.

Black wheels and new headlight for starters. A 19" front gets you around the hassle of lowering the front.

Yeah RT, that's what I'm thinking. Is that a 19 on yours? What wheel/tire combo would give me the 1" lower frontend?
P.S.
The wheels and headlight are on the list...but thanks for the input

Bike looks great man! Those inverted front ends ride real nice. I'd actually keep the headlight but pc the bucket and pull it outta the trees with a new mounting block. You could also go with a VROD headlight and it'll look good with the inverted front end. For the rear you could lower an inch or two and I think it'd look awesome.
