Looks Good! Yes, a lowered front and maybe one of these HD Part #66053-01 for $39.95. They're easy to put on too. Just cleans up the bottom of your triple tree in case anyone's looking under there. It would definitely show in your "favorite one" pic.

I agree with mcpastor on the lower triple tree cover, you could also mount the HD oil cooler

There's a mod sticky here somewhere that shows fog lights mounted under the nacelle, inside the forks. Looks pretty slick to be honest. Your bike is so nice looking, I agree with others that it's great the way it is. But if you can find it (something like, cheap DIY mods) the fog lights under there look pretty cool.

You don't want to mount an oil cooler under the triple trees. Think of what might happen to the cooler and the fender should the brakes be slammed on and the front end slam down on itself quickly. There is a reason there is nothing there.

You said crazy. If you put that headlight on, no one will notice the space under it. Hehehehe

It's called humor. Try it.

I didn't mean under the triple tree...duh! Mounted where it's supposed to go, it will be visible from the front and the chrome cover will "appear" to fill the void between the headlight and fender.

You can also get a neck cover from Kuryakyn: http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/120/Neck-Covers

For that matter, they also make chrome covers for your black frame downtubes: http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/122/Down-Tube-Covers

I think your bike would look trick from the side and front with a neck cover and chrome-covered down tubes. Then you won't have to hide the gap. It would complement your chrome swing arm and fender struts. Don't forget the triple tree bottom cover from HD.

IMHO the following items would make the chrome flow from the front to the back of your scoot, or you can leave it as it is and it's good. I found once I add another piece of chrome, other parts of the bike start lookin' like they need it.

Midframe covers that cover the black frame just under your seat: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

Swingarm and bolt covers: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

And a chrome shift linkage.

LOL they say the bike cost is only the down payment for the chrome.

Here's a pic of the neck cover on my Heritage Classic. I left my downtubes black. You can also make out the chrome triple tree cover that covers the bottom nut as well as the whole triple tree bottom.

Okay, I guess the humor eluded me on that one. Seeing a Honda emblem on it scrambles my brain I guess.
