Good call on the floorboards, will be a better fit for that stlye bike. Check out Wild1 Chubby bars, I'd go with the Knuckle or Beach bars if I was you. Enjoy the addiction you just got yourself involved in.

Hi, little update:
Made my first purchase and got some chubby streetfighter bars.
They are loosely mocked up.
They look cool so far and feel great.
I realize this bike can go almost any direction.
Trying this for now. Also played with the head light some.
Tried a whole bunch of different ones (from black to even a street stalker that I have laying around) and now I'm back to the original one with a new headlight mount. Still playing there.
Cleaning up the wiring also. PO butchered this thing. I took the speedo/ dash off for the wiring and like it exposed and open. Searching for a alternative speedo location solution and some creative ways to leave the tank trough open.

I would prefer to use this vintage S&M lamp company headlight with the amber glass that I have had on a shelf for years. It looks great. Only prob is it is just a shell with glass. I have no idea how to put a lenses/ holder/ bulb into the thing.
