not really a mod but i use windshield bags for saddle bags....theyre real low profile and hold a few small things....bottle of water, cigarettes, wallet, cell phone, and when i park it, i have somewhere to put my shades and gloves. i just bolt them straight to the rear fender struts.. i dont have a camera so i cant put pics of my bike up since i changed a bunch of stuff.

Iv got all the parts I need for the blinker relocate and smoked lenses so Im ahead of the game on that one. I think they make the bike look much better.
Iv got the stock intake but I assure you I have that thread book marked.
Im not sure I want dirt all over me from riding daily but Iv heard of putting bandanas across the forks to help with that. Anyone have input on that?
I could relocate the speedo, is there an issue while cruising being able to see it at all?
Ill look into joebotics headlight flip his looks pretty cool.
And im working on the CTFS haha, not sure how much I want to take off the rear fender incase I want to ride 2 up. I am about to buy some RK shocks for it also.

That windshield, does it have holes in it or kinda like etched to make the design?

Iv ordered a licks solo bag but thats a great idea on the windshield bag idea.

BreezyKollins I love that fender is that off an R? looks nice with that 21 incher. Right?
