I think your bike looks good with black walls. Save up for the SG.

Put the WWW and lowering bolts on. Looks like a completely different bike.

The bike looks good so it will only look better no matter what you go with. Either is a GREAT choice. With the WWW you now have it makes that bike look SO much better....but I am a little biased too. The Shotgun is awesome and you will always hear about it here on this site. It can also be Googled too. I have NO doubt it's only a matter of time before you can't take it anymore reading about it and you have one on the rear of you bike too. It's not only more comfortable, better handling and addresses a few safety issue but it's also a ton of fun!!!

Thanks for the complement!

I tried the mirrors flipped and didn't like looking down to see behind me. Right now they are above eye level.

Thanks Tony! I'm looking forward to getting the SG. I've heard nothing but great things about it.

Default 39" samson cholos help.

The 39" cholos are one, finally. I have a problem though, the left side head pipe sticks out a good 1 1/2 to 2"s out from the oil tank. I really prefer getting that thing tucked back in there like it should be. I'm a perfectionist so it has be done right. Any suggestions from anyone who has had the same problem? I think I read a while back that StudioPeg had the same issue and it was getting to hot for her leg by it sticking out like that, plus it's doesn't look as good when it is not tucked in there. Mine is an 06 so I would really like to hear from those with 04, 05's and 06's but any info from anyone else is more than welcome to reply too. Pictures would be GREAT too.

Dylan, the bike looks bad azz with those white walls. Completes the whole "classic" look. Just make sure you keep em clean, because the longer you wait to clean em, the harder they are to make "white".

And Tony, I sort of have the same problem you have with the cholos. But mine only stick out about an inch or so, but not quite two inches. I can't seem to get em any closer to the oil tank. I've gotten used to them there and I haven't had any issues with extra heat coming off that side. How do you like em so far? Have you had a chance to hear em roar?

I have to agree save and get the Shotgun Shock first. Don't waste money on the 422's.
