Pumas....the rear isnt much different but has a 3" stretch and lil more beef to profile. I just wanted to close the gap a bit to the pipes.


And folks...I cropped some sinister billet daddys on the pic. Damn I frikin dig it! Even with no black in the wheels, it gives a nice fresh contrast and ties into the engine instead.

And maybe a side mount or lay down plate holder?

Ya Brutus....going to throw on a plate bracket on the axle. Easy swap in case bad cops pull me over...I can show them that option and promise to be a good boy:P Where I live the laws are somewhat not clear on the rule...more discretion of the cops. Btw our plates are also an inch bigger than most states/prov's. Can't frame it for this reason and in turn limits the options.

Well poo poo on them. You would have to be a total Richard Cranium Cop to mess with a guy because a side mounted plate the can still be seen just as plainly as a fender mount/

Where in charlottesville did you go to get it cut down. I am about an hour away from there and do not know of any local shops around me. any info would be helpful.

Most of your local auto glass shops can cut down a windshield. Had mine done for $35.00

The swing arm bag is the Leather Works 312XL bag. One of the best ones out there along with Garage leathers. http://www.sideroadcycles.com/import...opper_Bag.html

I had it done at Greenville Chopper Works (which was about 1hr east of Charlottesville...it's close to Staunton, VA). They were super friendly and did an amazing job in about 30 min start to finish.

Where are you in Virginia? I've never seen another Lo out on the road.

I like Misbehavin's swingarm bag, but I have the other one he recommended from Garage Leathers and I love it. I can shoot some pics over if you want to see that one.

+1 on Garage Leathers but I think the other may be a little cheaper. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Garage Leathers may give you some choices on a few of the styling queues if you ask him. He's a great guy. Never hurts to ask.
