Talking Upgrades done
Well got all but two upgrade done but it is time to ride for a while. Nothing to extensive this winter but they make the bike mine.

Biggest mod was the Shotgun shock. Works good but I need to figure out the settings better. Next was putting on a Xbones dash and flush mount fuel gauge and cap. Finally wrinkle black primary and trans side cover.

Only items left relocate front blinkers and Ricor's. Plus the new night dragon tires. Well time to enjoy the weather.

They are suppose to be red Avon grips but i can not keep them clean. When i do clean them i have to use scotch brite and then they turn pink. I have another set but i am debating on putting them on.

I was thinking about doing something different with the down tubes but not sure yet. Maybe even go with a Fat bob front end but nothing this year. They are the 16" 1.25" Carlini Gangsters.
