I'm happy with how this turned out. Been waiting to get better pics but I'll share these crappy cell phone pics for now.

Love the light set-up. Wish someone made a set-up like that in Black for the FX front ends, so far I've only found chrome. lol

Air ride is dumped, rode it slammed like that once, the cool factor didn't win over the comfort issues

Changing the parts out was easy, The research I put into making sure all the parts would work together and the rake and trail numbers were safe took quite a bit of time. The 140 tire threw everybody I talked to off, a lot of people told me that what I had in mind wouldn't work. There's not a whole lot of parts made specifically for that size tire. Everything is off the shelf items though, the most I had to modify were the front fender mounting holes.

The auxiliary light bar set up was originally chrome, I've had to get a lot of powder coating done with this bike.

Man, I'm kind of a hard guy to please on aftermarket bars and those things look sick. What are they? How did they change your hand position from stock?
