Default My new console (PICS)

About ready to send the tank/console out to bodywork. Console is fiberglass. Was hoping to do something in metal, but I don't have the skills. Not entirely sold on the console and am open to alternative ideas. It's a fuel injected bike, so I need to have some sort of removable cover to gain access to the fuel pump.

They are 1.5" sweeping beaters from:

I had them made at 14", rather than the normal 16". He's a great guy to deal with by the way.

Just a 180 in the rear. I wanted bigger than the stock 130, but don't really care for much bigger than that.

did you reshape that Heartland fender ? It seems a bit shorter than the Wildheart.

Yeah, the console will be painted black, as will the tank and fender. The fender is just a normal wildheart fender. Just waiting on my footclutch and it'll be ready to ride. I've still got a different oiltank to put on, but i'll probably wait to do that when I have the tins out for paint.
