One thing that sticks out is your swingarm... your front lowers are chrome why not go chrome on the swingarm as well.. how about brake calipers in chrome.. roters.. pulley..?? would that end this game .. I doubt it ... but its a fine looking bike..

I would love to ride it, but since i'm 2000 miles away from it, I can just dream of the next mod.

Anything I do to it will be several months away or even next year. I'm just trying to figure out what I'm saving for.

It's pretty well done for this year.

Don't really dig the chrome swingarms, I like having the black match the rest of the frame. Chrome brake calipers are on the list, but I just can't bring myself to spend the cash on them.

Thanks for all the comments fellas.

The wheels are DNA Mammoths 18"X3.5". Some guys have had some bad experiences with DNA, but mine are great and I am very pleased.

The bars are Wild1 Inc. W509. 16" rise and the cables are Magnum Shielding Sterling Chromite II. They look great and very nice quality.

Dr. Vtwin can hook you up with good pricing and great customer service.

Dr. V, I'm gonna be seeking you out for a price on a C&C Solo seat with the pillion pad. I need something lower profile.

leave your exhaust alone, don't do a fatcat.

id say shave your rear fender and go with a sidemount plate, but you'll probably save that for custom painting down the line.

if you really feel the need to mess with it, either change the seat or do the tensioners.

damn your bike makes me miss my fatboy

I would if i could, but if you followed my wheel mod, you know it took me a year to save for that. Anyway, you know you got some major ponies hiding under that gas tank of yours. I would trade some chrome to be able to twist the throttle and rattle my teeth, LOL!

I'll probably just get a lower profile solo seat, sell mine to recover some cost and call it done for 2010. I want to rack up some miles this year, but gotta get home to do it.

+1 WARG.... get a seat, then put some miles on it first, and then the next mod will come to mind. It looks awesome as it is right now!!

BTW can you tell me what a/c and cover you are running? looks really interesting.
