Thanks for the kind words. I'm really enjoying the bike more with all the personalizing mods. I just did a 300 miler this weekend (pictures of the bike on this thread were taken afterward - of course after the wash!). You guys with your awesome scoots constantly inspire me to "up my game." When I get around to it, I will be internally wiring the bars, but I am in no hurry. Just enjoying riding her now. Thanks again for the compliments.

and one from the left the see the headlight placement and the highway bar:


and another from the right where to can see another view of the improvements:


and one from the front where you can see the headlight alignment. Note: they are evenly aligned on the bottom, just like the old Knuckleheads (what I was going for):


and finally, you can se what I see when riding (big beach bars and headlight):


I think she is looking and running like I want her too. I may get some highway pegs, if I can fins some that have the retro looks I want. We'll see.

Thanks to everyone for their advice and guidance. So many of you have made your bikes so awesome, it has continually inspired me.

Safe riding!

Sweet scoot man!!!
