Not bad, looks good. I see you're still rocking my old 48 shocks, I still love those air shocks you sold me.

Your bike looks awesome. Everything flows together great. I love your kickstand puck lol. I really like those v&h pipes, what air cleaner is that? and do you know if its avail for a carb'd 883?

Keep up the good work, any other plans for mods or are u done?

painting rear fender black, still debating if i gonna put struts on it or just leave it shocks..

the air filter just used the 3 bolts to the throttle body so if the the holes on carb are same size then it will bolt right on.. i will check with my buddy when he gets back from sturgis if he can get more and how much if anyone wants one just send me a pm so i geta number together for him

Went back and looked at the pics. Is that your tail light wire that hangs from your strut direct to your light? You should be able to unplug it out the wiring harness and route it down the swing arm and back up to the connection. It would probably look a little cleaner too.
