Default Bad Dad Project Completed

Finally, she's done! Just got these photos from my painter down in Tampa minutes ago.

In a large nutshell, here's what I've done.

New Klockwerks Windshield
Painted the inner fairing to match and installed a set of Polk Tweeters and removed two gauges.
New Bad Dad Custom extended saddlebags with a set of stripes to match OEM.
New Bad Dad Wide Rear Fender Kit with custom two tone stripe to match OEM look.
Lighting: Custom designed LED tail light and running light - Custom bag LED turn signals and running lights.
Tour Pak: Painted custom stripes in silver and burgundy to match OEM. Set up with OEM hardware for quick detach with a custom Bad Dad bracket
Plate Frame: Custom Bad Dad stainless frame with LED lighting.

My overall thoughts when I started this project was to come up with a true custom that retained the stock Black Pearl color which I love and create a bike that gives the overall appearance that it's a one of a kind factory custom build.

That is it for the most part. I've still got to reattach the tour pak backrest and speaker pods when I pick her up. Just a few more piddly things to get done and after I think a bit more, mebbe do something else to it lol.
