stock seat, got it redone by Master Lugo on a bike week at Myrtle Beach. So far I like clean tank, haven’t decided on badges yet, thinking about something custom, but need to come up with a design. I run cobra headers and tab performance 4” with zombie baffles and slashed tips.

If you could tell me what brand fishtails these are I would really appreciate it. Have the same color RKS as you and have been searching for them. Your pics totally confirm my idea how awesome it would look.
Thanx; JT

Well late in responding to this one, guess I missed it...

I'm getting my bike delivered in installments.
So far I've got the Carlini handlebars, and the Fuel Moto big bore kit.
Still waiting on the Ciro3D Bag Blades.
Waiting on availability of the Öhlins HD 772 shocks, and then I'll hand everything over to the dealer for the build.
Also just ordered motorcycle drop guards as I plan to do a lot of practicing of slow speed maneuvers. Loads of power and torque are awesome, but anyone can go fast in a straight line.

The bike will be delivered early March 2021, as I don't see much of a point in getting one now and putting it in winter storage for the majority of the time.

You could always buy chrome ones and have them powdercoated.

I have seen these and a few more like them( v-twin exhaust I believe is another brand) but I don’t really want a 3” body on a fishtail. Looking for a 2.5 straight old style fishtail for the M8. Only ones i have found are from Steady Cycles, but for black powder coated they quoted me $600.00 for a set. They do have lengths from 33-45” and will do custom lengths, lot of cool stuff on their site. Just looking for options. Will try the search feature.
Thanks , JT
