I added JRI 13” shocks, a hand made front fender, 12” FXR division motorwitch bars with solid riser bushings (Basically tbar feel without messing with gauges) low profile dash with flush cap, 9” klockwerks windshield and a drag specialties predator 3 seat.

2-1 pipe, cam, and tune next. Then front suspension, brakes, etc etc etc lol.










That panel of skulls almost has a comic book feel - I really like it. I've been following you on Instagram for awhile and you do great work.

One day ill get a carbon front fender and finish the paint. Untill then id rather have the go fast parts and dyno tune first








if you ever do figure out a cheap way to get mid controls let us know; I'm in the same boat and don't wanna pay that ridiculous amount to big bear performance for their set. What kind of bags are those; how'd you get them to mount up like that?

Hofmann Designs just came out with a new carbon mid-length fender, what are your guys' thoughts on the shorty fender vs. midlength?

They both look good, but personally, I would prefer the shorty.
