I think I'm pretty much done with customizing the appearance of it. A lot of chrome stuff, including an Arlen Ness 15" brake rotor. Thinking of installing a Shotgun air ride suspension but not sure yet. Not sure it's worth all the cash just to be able to slam the bike. I'd rather go with performance parts at this point.

Did you lift the rear end? Seems like an abnormal amount of space between the fender and the tire. It looks like you would be level with truck drivers going down the highway...

definitely looks high. Thought you had air suspension. BTW, the red looks awesome! I’m not normally a fan, but looks great on the BO.
