Nice ride actually all you have nice rides. Been trying to catchup on this forum, what a pain! Its been 5 months maybe 6 since I was last on here reading, dont post much. Cant wait to get back stateside so I can finish mine up. Not much to do but still a few pricing things to do, custom seat and to figure out a paint job suiting my like and makes makes me happy. Had a guy in Dallas do it before I deployed but wasnt very happy with it. I have a few ideas but really need a custom painter that can take my ideas and make them better. If all goes well I will be done this summer. It wont be as black as some on here but I still like a little shine... Keep the pics coming give me alot of moto to finish mine up ASAP. Of course I been working on mine for about 4 years, one lesson learned from all of it though, baby steps and you really need a cash plan.

Ok...its almost 2am...here are some pics....im going to bed!! lol I'll try to get some better shots tomorrow but she is pretty much done. I know it looks like the fender sits a little high but thats as low as i can go with the LED's under the lip. Ended up using a length of the smallest vacuum hose icould find to run around the edge to hide the cuts. Came out better than i thought for chopping the stock fender into a bunch of pieces...

Looks good Dark! Looks like the lights are small enough there's no worries with getting hit by the tire. On a dirty, wet road, the light will get coated and might not be seen tho. Make sure to check them often so people behing you will see what's going on.

Looks very good dark. Makes me totally rethink my side plate with lights. I like how I have them set up but but not bright enough for my liking and it would clean up the wiring a bit more. Since I am rear doing my back fender once again maybe I will go that route expect a little different. I have the rear fender just cut but just dont look finished to me, I plan on adding some round bar and blending it into the lip to hopefully give it a more finished look, if that makes since. I still have issues on what to do with my front signals, love to not run any but that wont fly on base. Finding it hard to keep a bike clean but within all the rules of law.
My rear signals are grooved underneath into my heartland fender struts, dont see them when the bike is on the ground till they blink
wish I had pics right now but still overseas trying to get home, when I do get home I will post them

Take a look at these billet front signals - lowest profile I've ever seen.

They are a bit expensive, but very unique...
