Thanks for the compliment, I think if I had used black, the logo would nt be visible at all. I really like the set up of your bike, the tank lift is super clean. I'm definitely going that route with mine. As far as plasti-dip, I'm sure you know but the second fuel touches it....history

Mary got me a sissybar bag for Xmas. Put it on there today.

Yeah, the bikes looks better without it. BUT, this is my daily rider to the shop, and on appointments...have gotten tired of bungee cording the backpack on and off the sissy bar. This is much easier, and I have room to carry more than I can stuff in my pockets. lol

I have a swingarm bag, but I did not like that look on the bike anymore than this one the sissy bar...plus when you have bad knees like I do, it is much easier to get in and out of this sissybar bag.

I twisted a new chrome 10mm banjo bolt into my m/c and only got two turns before binding up. I have a pair of them (they have 3/8 -24 threads [fine] and are 0.79" from bottom of head to end of threads). Goodridge? part# 45596. I'll send them to 1st one who wants them and PM's addy. Came with 4 copper crush washers also. I found out (after ordering) that my m/c takes a true metric 10mm x 1.25 pitch banjo bolt. Cheers!

Default Installed my new Seat

A LePera Bare Bones. I really love it. Looks good and rides good. Its firm but it actually seems to dampen vibration and bumps better than the stocker.

Installed some micro LED indicators today. The Arlen Ness brackets didn't fit at all! The fit sucked big time! Had to modify them and that took me a good four hours! Grind and test fit, grind some more and test fit. But I'm happy with result...

Changing up colors for 2014. Powder coated the front fender so far. tank and rear fender next. I think the color turned out cool. Lots of flake and it changes multiple colors in the sun light.
