As promised here are a few more and a few things I forgot to mention!
First thing I forgot, when my paint guy did the stripping and then sanding he actually covered over the plastic piece around the oil dip stick, so now it's one seamless piece. Didn't know he was going to do it, but it turned out awesome
Here's the contrast of the DK customs tank lift and the old cheaper tank lift that was on there from an unnamed brand. DK does it right, and it definitely shows
And here are some shots of the coil and key relocation:
And of course here is the video of the exhaust sound

Did the guy spray every single inch of the bike with rhino liner???
By the way I really like how the rear fender looks without the plastic inside between the fender and the fender frame supports. I might take mine out.

Don't even get me started, when I broke it I was so pissed haha. No AC in the garage here in FL, so I was sweating my nuts off
Maybe it's an illusion?

The right side has a gap, but the left side doesn't due to the license plate mount. Didn't know there was supposed to be one! That would make sense though for the wires on the right side
Well I think it's a big plastic piece that also holds the red reflector. I can see you have the reflector on the left side, check your right side and see if you have one or not, I think it's all one piece plastic plate, with the turn signal wiring going along the top of the piece. I might try to make the gap on mine. Might be a passenger hazard though, jacket sleeve get caught in there or something
