Look at it this way---You're ok.

Now make a list....
New exhaust, stretched fender, tombstone tail light, side mount tag, custom paint/pinstriping! All on someone else's insurance dime.

These are the best pics I could scrounge for now...
Before

After

The list om mods is short and sweet. Black primary, derby, levers. LED headlight, taillight, smoked signals. Converted to two up riding. 1940 style seat. And Vance & Hines Big Radius 2 into 2.

Looking at the other pics in here I have a long way to go still.
