Looks good. I am doing similar paint this winter except I will be bobbing the rear fender. Also going to throw 14" apes on.
Are you done or is it an ongoing mod?

Im thinking some 2 or 3 " riser extentions from dkcustoms and then a tank lift. Also a lower profile tail light.

What is this "done" you speak of?

OP, I'd keep the taillight. Looks good IMO.

Nice balance of matte and chrome there. Did you paint her yourself? I had mine in satin black primer till I crashed.

I didnt have the money to strip and prime and paint. So I got some spray on rustoleum flexidip. Its sprayed entirely over the current paint and chrome and is a nice satin finish. Easy to touch up and it peels right off whenever you please.
