Default before and almost after shots

Been making some changes to my bike over the last couple of weeks.

Took off the stock luggage rack and backrest.
Added both quick detach docking kits.
Added a detach sissy bar.
Took off bag guards and lid guards.
Added TopShop 4 inch stretched bags.
Added Gator Tail rear fender cover.
Added short bullet style rear lightbar with red lenses.
Added layback tag bracket.
Added clear front fender lense and clear front turn lenses.
I have new saddle bag lids on the way as well.

Now I'm searching for a painter to make it all one color again. Not sure what color I'm gonna go with, but probably some shade of maroon. All the changes definitely cleaned the bike up, imo. Now I'm looking at detachable fairings, so one of those may in the future too.

Here's an old before pic.



And some almost after pics.

Its looking good, but....I don't know if its the angle of the bike on the side stand, but the right opening around the exhaust looks bigger and almost shaped different the left side....

Most of that is the camera. Some of it is because everything isn't perfectly lined up right now. I've had everything apart apart 50 times trying to get that fender fitted correctly. The fender kinda sucked. I got it all back together so I could ride some today. Once painted, I'll readjust everything properly again.

I'm not sure what year your ride is, and maybe it's already this color, but I would recommend
