A few recent mods
I got around to taking some pics of some "garage mods", nothing elaborate, nothing pricey, just me and some time... with the exception of the seat. I recently had memory foam inserts and had it re-done as well. While that was being done, I also had a custom stitched tank bib created to fit my stretched tanks. I was not able to get "good shots" outside due to a dead battery. When I can get better pics, I'll post em up. Hopefully, I'll have my 21" with a wide white on it. Once I get the front wheel, she'll be pretty much done - at least for a short while 
Let me know what you think...
What is not taken yet are pics with it setup for touring. I have quick detach hardbags with run/turn/brake lighting (all quick connect wiring), windshield, two up seat, and sissybar that can all go on and off within 5 minutes. Looking for a dragonfly to complete that setup...

I love everything you did with that bike.And the 21 is going to look great on it.But IMHO I am not a fan of the chicken wire on all the lights at all.I think it cheapens up a beautifully put together scoot.Like I said just MO as long as your happy thats all that matters.

Yep i got to agree with the post stated above... the checkerboard doesn't look right... It's a bit overkill.
On another note, i do like that seat... You mentioned you had it re-done. What was it to begin with?

seat
BlknChrome: The seat started off as a solo Corbin Strugis edition. It was just plain black and all smooth. I went with the old skool diamond pattern and added the stitchwork to the sides. Kept the same profile, just a custom look and way more comfortable...
I can see how some people may get turned off by the wire on the lighting, in person - it is pretty minimal and not too overbearing. I was going for an old skool, industrial, bobber look and wanted to acheive a "garage build" theme since everything is done on a small dime and by myself. Once I get my 21" it should tie it off well. Kind of a mix between a badass SoCal Vicla style and a DalTex Southern style... We shall see.

Also in another area of your bike ...Your rear fender situation looks really clean. Like the look of the filled holes and no lighting on it... Well done.
