Zack,
very nice...
I to was wondering what kind of wax your using to achieve the relections in the factory finish...
With those reflectioons there it would seem to be great advertizement for the product...

oilhog - Corbin rocks. This is my third one on my third bike. I love them

Vegas - Good eye. That reflection was from a car the was parked just behind my bike. I guess I had the bike angled just right. I never noticed it until I downloaded the pic. It's a shame too, because I really like that pic and the plate kind of screws it up. I'll take more tonight when the pipe is on.

Texasbowhunter - Believe it or not, I haven't touched the paint with anything yet. Just before I took those pics, I washed it but no wax. I use Eagle One car wash soap.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I appreciate it.

BZ

Biggzed,
You gotta love this bike that everybody says is ugly & that you cant see anything with the headlights not moving.

We can just keep riding ours & smiling to ourselves.[8D]

Love the way you have done yours, very nice. What is that on the center console?

That is one SWEET looking bike. IS that a PM caliper on there? Maybe I'm not the only one with those now, but I couldn't really tell from the pics. Anyway, keep working on that thing, it is SWEET!

Thanks. It's my temporary set-up for a heated jacket. I'm going to pull it off tonight when I put the pipe on. I won't need it for a couple of months now, plus I ordered a Heat Troller thermostat that I will mount in the instrument nacelle.

Yikes!

Gotta say with all due honesty, not a big fan of the red wheels.

I know everyone is giving props.... and stroking your ride.....but it's not for me!

Enjoy your sled. To each his own! Like the bike, but can do w/o the red wheelies!

They do stand out.
It seems to look not quite as 'beefy', or poised for the pounce, but with 'less beef' come agility.
That will be a real eye catcher rolling down the road[sm=bling.gif]
