Well.....You know how it is. Ya buy something and then they come out with a "improved " model or style. I'll have to black my old one out myself. I ain't buying another one. Plus, I've already trimmed the thing to the size I wanted. It won't be hard to do. I just ain't got the time, right now.

Here's a few updated shot's of mine. I lowered it, changed the seat, added the sissy bar and put on the 16" gimps. In the process I managed to break my clutch cable housing, one of the bolts in the clutch release cover and I stripped out one of the risers. I guess I should have paid attention to the torques specs :-D

I think I ended up going about 2" lower. That was after I dropped it all the way to the stops and kept getting launched off the seat.
I plan on painting the tins black with a red ghost flame eventually, but right now I'm set with the factory job. I can't stand having my bike out of commission for a couple of days let alone the time it would take to go to the paint shop. I've toyed with the idea of powder coating the rocker box covers red but I'm not sure how it would look. I want to keep it subtle...

I had to resize the pics because it kept complaining about them being too big.

I'm getting a lot of good ideas for my bike from this section, just can't seem to keep a solid direction on my own bike. Lot of guys doing lots of cool stuff.
