Hell ya man, keep em coming! I'm definitely interested. Nice paint job. I'm seriously thinking of doing my own paint. You just inspired me.

New headlight accessory:


No night riding for now obviously. I need to test how well the headlight will work with this thing on and make sure there's no heat/melting issues. Eventually, I want to get two smaller headlights and mount them within the eye sockets. Then, I want to move the entire thing up to the top of the triple mount (similar to what SF used to have, but not as bold).

The deed is done:


Removed fender for chop/paint:


Chopped fender; will paint tomorrow:

It was very bold. Too strong. I ran this for about 8 -10 months or so and dropped it. The gas mask kinda grew on me in the last 5 mins. Pretty rad. I'm as excited as everyone else to see your bike grow up. Please keep posting. Nice job, buddy!

I see potential police problems with a gas mask over headlights. Not saying it would break any law, I could just see a lot of cops being curious, or simply being dicks about it. Sounds pretty cool, though.

Same idea I think.

Man, I think the gas mask is fantastic. Sure it will block all the light, but your idea to incorporate the same mask with two projector beams would make for a fun project.
