so you guys doent have to go back a couple pages here it was.





AND NOW HERE IT IS.



I put the same headlight on my Sporty, I really dig it! I mounted it using a small piece of metal because the cone was too long and the mounting screw too short (as far as I can remember).

True that, hi pipes are sweet.. It just sucks how they usually block the rear pass pegs. I always rest my feet on them on the HWY, and it's nice to be able to have someone hop on the back.

Similar options are the RSD Trackers:



Or the Freedom Performance Outlaws:

should be getting started this week or next. here's a list...

-Move front blinkers to frame (down tube)
-Relocate handlebar switches (this will probably take me the longest and I'll need some help from a friend who knows electrical, cause I don't)
-chop another inch or 1.5 of each end of the bars.
-Exhaust (stock headers with tips from summit racing, wrapping with dei titanium, try to reuse my lollipop baffles or fab new ones)
-Move my round mini rearview to the top triple tree or fork tube
-Fab new rear blinker mounts for the axles
-Mount the little headlight that SF gave me
-Strip the tank and paint some old school crazy orange style flame job. Like this one:

-Footpegs (fab some extensions to lift my mids up a couple inches)
-Levers (chop/grind and make my own shorty levers)

Maybe a fit an internal Whiskey throttle too from Biltwell and shave the fork legs down but we'll see how everything else goes. I got my work cut out for me but should be fun doing it. Stay tuned.
