Default What' Next?

Just added my wheels, apes, console, and solo bag. So, what should I do next?

Been considering:

cam, fat cat, new tensioner conversion
air ride of some sort
new seat

i'm saving paint for waaaay down the line. Still like the stock color.

any opinions? I welcome other suggestions to. I'm travelling and can't ride, so i'm dreaming.

Good luck with that one. I'm in same boat.... SAS, flush mount gas cap, true duals, mini apes, digital speedo/rpm, etc.... goes on and on, never stops.

That thing would look sweet with a Lepera bare bones solo seat. It looks great already!

I'd say new seat and stretched tank. Really smooths out the bike.

Brotha I hear ya. I think air ride and a low solo seat, then longer rear fender, clean heritage fender, and a set of streched tanks... Tha way you can still have the factory tins.. I am tied up studing for a driver's test so it will be the very last week in April till I get to ride hard again.

That's cool, I am travelling a ton with work, so riding time is hard to come by for me to. Good luck on your test.

Looks good!

Fatcat will add to the look and provide a lil something extra. A seat is also a good idea. Passing lamps beef up the front - nice to have extra light also. Then save and go big on the motor - cams, hydro cam plate, 95"...

WARG, it looks great, just leave it for a bit. I vowed not to do anything to my bike until after the Laughlin River Run, but just spent the day putting my Platinum Air Ride on. I just can't leave it alone. His wheels are DNA Mammoth spokes.
