quick update:

Got the Big City Thunder Monster Baffles installed along with the Kuryakyn Kinetic pegs. The LED's are almost done. I still need to install the wheel light pucks and 2 more strips, one under the engine along the frame and one on the back of the fender mounted brake light to help light up the rear wheel.

I'm thinking it needs some black and dark/burnt orange pin striping on the tank and fenders.

I like the sound. I haven't ridden the bike after the install. It started to rain.

The LED's are almost done, I'm just waiting on 2 more strips from Custom Dynamics. The wheel lights are from Boogey along with the controller, and the rest of the lights are Magic Flex from Custom Dynamics.

Quick update: The BCT Monster baffles in V&H SS's actually decreased performance. It sounded OK, really freakin' loud, but OK. I noticed it actually decreased the torque and caused a pop when decelerating. Not cool in my book so the V&H baffles went back in. Problems solved, still "**** off the neighbors" loud and the performance is back.

IF I ever paint mine, it'll be side covers & hardbags too.

Bike looks awesome! I know the seat is Mustang Solo but they have two models, the regular solo and the wide solo... do you know which one you have? I want to get same seat.

Mustang Part Numbers are:
Vintage solo seat Part Number: 76157
WIDE Touring Vintage Solo Seat Part Number: 76148

Much Thanks
