Well, here's a few pix of the new set-up with the Heartland EZ200 kit.
As you can see, the rear needs some dropping.
The lights on the struts are single-intensity Kuryakyn Mini-Bullets which are used as directionals. The one on the right side of the frame is a running light.
The license plate holder is the one I got dicked on by DemonsCycle.com. My local wrencher machined a new bracket for me and made it work. Thanks Joe! It's a running/brake light. When my wife gets a new job, I will be adding a flexible LED strip under the lip of the fender as a running/brake light.
So... I still have work to do- black powdercoated pullback bars, painting of tins, lowering the rear, LED strip, new tires, brakes... ho boy.

JY i can tell you right now by looking at the swingarm it don't look like you got 2 inches on your drop... take a picture from the side close up of where the swingarm pivot and the oil can... and then maybe we can match it up to how close other peeps swingarm comes to the to the oil can. Now worries man you'll get it worked out before long. You know maybe it's because the light color and makes it look even higher then it is?
