Looking very nice. I'm not really into the white walls, but if you like em' try it out. What year is your bike? I'm looking at the mirrors on my '12 and can't see how they can be flipped. My turn signals are screwed in.

mine's a 2011 yeah all you have to do is unscrew them and put the left on the rear and vice versa. i also got the 48 torxs screws but you can use the stock iron screws

Have you ever thought about painting your exhaust white? I think that would look killer, but you'd just need to find the right high temp paint.

Great look! The white walls would give it that old school look but I think ZombieGlide had an interesting idea of whiting the lettering on the tires.

Ever thought about a solo bag for your bike? The more I see them, the cooler I think they look on certain bikes. (gotta quit going to the bike shows I guess)

Looks really nice. I don't think that white walls would look good on your bike.

I've got a '12 and I've flipped my lights no problem. The turn signals are on a swivel mount. You just need the right sized hex key to loosen them up and then adjust as needed. The mirrors can be taken off with a 1/2" wrench.
