Default Deluxe update...

Mods complete. Ended up sticking with the black lines. After I got the braided on, it just didn't look right to me. Replacing clutch, front brake, and throttle lines TWICE makes for a fun Sat morning. :-) headlight nacelle is on. Looks great. I will post pics as soon as this F&%*$&%*$ rain stops. Sheesh.

No worries at all. :-) The nacelle is HD, not bad at all to install. Things get a little tricky if want the detatchable windshield, but I found the right length bolts at a local hardware store. The bars are Burly Bars, the 36" bikini beach bars. Not to bad to install, I ran the wires inside, so there was some harness mods. Again, not a big deal. I f**ed up pn the cables though and tried to put braided ones on, they really detracted from the black look I'm going for, so I went back to the stock lines. The fender bib is Mustang.

(laughs) 6' even. The stock seat works for me just fine. Whiplush switched to a Corbin that he swears by, so you may want to hit him up for seat ideas.
