Pics of the latest changes, nothing fancy, pretty run of the mill for most of the nightsters on the forum, turn signal relocated to forks, mirrors flipped, and changed the grips. The white grips are still growing on me, but very comfortable, let me know what you think of them. I haven't decided if they are staying yet.

Nice bike, but I would lose the grips. I'm always down for being different but they were probably on sale for a reason, Ha! They might look better once you break them in.

I was thinking that the white grips would get nasty, but I think they may look cool on my bike (883R). IMO they look a bit off because of how close (but very diffrent) they are to the silver of the bike.

I have seen the white grips a lot on the Hard Knock bikes.

Don't really like the turn signals that far out, I have the fork pinch bolt mount setup for mine but haven't put it on yet.

I like moving the turn signals to clean up the bars--looks good.
