Loving the 13” shocks and new Galfer rotors and pads, also the new Imzz rear crash bars have come in handy already by keeping a traffic cone from hitting my bags (f*er came out of nowhere haha).

Crash bar looks great.

Im thinking of replacing my cowbells with some rubber fork boots.

What do you all think, ugly or you think it would work since there is a fork shroud covering up the triple tree to fork boot connection.

I have seen it done on a RG. Looked just fine if you like the look. I’d be more inclined to leave the fork tubes exposed.

He is on HDF also I believe. Name on IG is Rodeos_garage. This is the best I saw at a glance but I know I’ve seen more clear pics from him. I’m sure he’d be more than happy to send you some pics too. I’d look further but just landed in Nicaragua for a wedding.

NOOOOOO. looks cheap, IMO....not terrible on black....but definitely out of place with your white and chrome theme going on. Chrome the legs and you're golden!

Yeah i understand and if i did, then i would black out the lowet legs eventually. Im going with sone leatherpros tsport bags so i think ill have good "black" offset.

Im also getting a carbon fiber front fender to add a little more color offset

I guess i cant fight the slow blackout progression. There is a part of me that wants to paint the bike a really deep dark red or really deep dark green

Oh okay, thought you were going full on with the white/chrome scheme ( i think that would be cool/different) but black and white always go well together too.
If you do black legs then black boots is fine. I personally like the cowbells better but thats just my opinion.
I'm a hard bag guy because I like paint, but i did love my LP tsport bags on my FXDX...that'll be cool.
Hoffman makes white carbon fiber fenders too...wink wink.

No pics of mine yet...still in the process of painting it....SO many pieces :/
