@NoRegerts. Thanks. I like the clear screen. Will really be set off when the color matched top vent arrives. No many performance bagger builds in socal going the OG chrome package mixed with performance so I'm trying to blend the two. My last build on this thread was all blacked out so this time if switching it up.

bikes currently +2 and 14 rear but gonna be +4 front and 15 rear real soon. Gotta scratch some sticks together for chrome rims and chrome/gold crown cut rotors and some ness Chrome mid controls with chrome outter primary and screaminspeedfab polished side covers. It will complete the look at that point.

Not my bike, but I took this photo. He's a buddy of mine. That bike has been making the show circuit here. Note the light blue windshield.

My bike, also making the show circuit. I have two 2nd place and a 3rd place trophy. Still can't compete with the big dogs. Note the blue windshield. KlockWerks has some badass stuff these days.

So not to fangirl, but the clear windshield on your bike sets it off for me. It's different and it looks killer.

@NoRegerts. Thanks. I really like the clear too. Here some pics of my previous RG build. It was an M8.

I also installed the color matched top vent today and love it. Yeah it's not a performance part but I looks great... now just color matched inner. Soon the chrome ness 2" drop triple tree kit to arrive and will really clean the front end up. I am thinking of switching to 16" west coat t bars the OG's or "broomsticks" little less wide and will bolt directly to the new triple trees instead of lucky daves bars with stand off plate.


Before self made mid controls

After self cobbled together mids. Was running reverse shifting pattern.

Do the BMX bars help the handling or is it for comfort, or just style/look?

I whole heartedly feel like the Tbars give better control and handling... no doubt!
