Not a fan of apes myself, but I love the rest of it. Nice colors. As far as the pipes go, let the blue show, the wrap doesn't fit at all, and it'll at least look like you ride it- it ain't a garage queen.

I like it. Like the color, white walls, the apes(a bit tall, but it works) and really don't think the wrap is all that bad. Might swap out the sissy bar though. Go with a custom one that is a little higher. It will pull the look in a little tighter because of the tall apes.

wife has her own bike you say - then put a solo seat on and ditch the sissy bar.

put on a chrome Fat Cat 2-1 pipe

slam that rear end with a Shotgun Shock (or at least lower it with bolts for now)

= done (well almost lol)
