Ok guys, so here she is with new 16" Road 6 Customs apes, and powder coated heat shields. I'm really happy with the changes!

Thanks for the compliments. Funny thing is when I first bought the bike I thought, wow this bike is perfect... I won't have to change a thing.

So here are the list of next mods.
Lower the rear end
Side mount license
Bring in the turn signals, or remove them.

I'm sure there will be more to come...
