I finally saw one in person today and it looked cool as hell. I never noticed the front turn signals on the triple tree until today. I wouldn't mind having one at all.

That's really cool Scarp, let us know what kind of set up your running for your tunes. I know I would like to try the same thing. I've got some PC speakers laying around here somewhere that need a home.

I looked at this model while in the showroom. While it did not work for me, it was definitely my first choice. Love the fat front tire and retro look.

That tire dressing/paint is sweet... just the right amount of orange accent. I see you have the skull gas cap too. So understated but screaming at the same time. I have it on my nightster.

so far the paint is holding up well, the application was a PITA but worth it. I have been asked many times already "where did you buy those tires" my back and arms are still sore from laying on the ground and painting, sanding, and cleaning it up with a toothpick.
