Default 4 month old "72": Makeover Complete

4 month old to the day, and i dare say my makeover is complete. of course customizing is never really done, but most of the things from here on are gonna be too small to notice. the finishing touch to the makeover below are the "black" parts:

black visor trims on headlight, turn signals, and brake lights.
black triple trees
black lower fork tubes

here's some stock shots compared w/ how my bike looks to date. (all bolt on's...ain't got the skills to "chop" or fabricate my own stuff)

thx for allowing me to share and thx for looking.

k.
