Thanks for the comments everyone! I love my Slim and wish I had more money to throw at it, bit its a long term project. I do plan on a 2-1 exhaust in the future, so i threw some slip ons to get me by because i couldn't stand the factory mufflers (before i found the cheap diy mods post). I am thinking about the vance and hines big radius 2-1 when i do. I also do plan on trying to find glass lenses for the blinkers, or just smoke them all. I did pull the fork reflectors right away, but I still need to remove the ones on the rear fender.

Yes it is. That was my daily driver until I got my Harley, and I am enjoying the gas savings. Actually, the bike payment costs the same as the gas did to and from work every day. Pulled the drivetrain out of it and I am hurrying to get it back together before the rain hits.
