I really like the direction where this is going. Now loose the awkward bend Heritage bars and throw some Carlinis at it...maybe some leather bags. Form and function in one great looking scoot!
I have always liked the look of a factory 21"er. Bike is looking sweet Brass, keep it up. The 21 sent it over the edge IMO great looking scoot for sure

I HATE these factory Heritage bars. Not only the comfort level but the look. They are flat out ugly. Apes will be here within the week.
Also sold the epseapt exhaust for more than what I paid and the guy threw in a BRAND NEW HD engine guard to boot! Score:
Ended up scoring a set of brand new 12" apes in trade for and old windshield to kill the terrible heritage bars. I still want to go to a 16-18 but for the time being these were a HUGE improvemtn in looks and riding position. For onyone wondering, factory heritage cables fit the 12" apes just fine. I dont have any electronics on my bars, so the wires were already gone. Heres a few pics:
Look like Harley accessory 12" bars. I'll have a set off the wife's Deluxe as soon as I find the right 14"s.
That paint is absolutely killer. Coming along nicely, especially with the fishy's and 21. I ran the Shinko 777s for a while. Front was great, rears didn't last. Keep a check on psi to avoid cupping and you should get 8-10K out of it easily.
