Man, those 72's look great stock. Lower the rear and wire tuck and the damn thing's done. Congrats on the addition.

Never been a fan of spokes on a bike but that bike looks nice. My next season upgrades will be apes similar to that and new pipes. I try to do two upgrades a season.

Nice. Good to see a denim black with some chrome rather than the dull/brushed aluminum look.
