Default 8 Month Progress Report

It's been 8 months since I've had my Iron and I thought I'd share the progress so far. Just picked up a 48/72 seat from the swap meet @ the Chicago Cycle Show today and it really cleans up the look I'm shooting for.

Mods so far:
Tank lift/tuck/relo
Wrapped header pipe
Cycle Shacks w/ homemade black out
La Rosa solo bag
Black forwards and passenger mounts
Diamond cut pegs and passenger pegs
Headlight visor/mini fairing
Front signal relo
Willie G derby/timer/gas cap/grips/cleaner trim
48/72 seat

Nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary by any means, but I'm really happy with the way it's shaping up. Got plenty of plans for more mods, but not enough funds to keep up with the brain!
