Default "Winter Project" finally finished
First off, many thanks for all the knowledge gained from this website! I have been lurking in the background for a while now and would like to share my personal version of the ultimate touring bike. I am installing a Shotgun Shok air ride kit tonight. Feel free to critique. All comments (good and bad) will be taken with a grain of salt.

Looks nice. I assume you have turn down tips on the pipes? I like the tan seat, but I wouldn't want to only have that I guess. Nice look. I'm guessing you don't ride in the rain, cause you would have two fishbowls with those speakers!

Dam, when you said "winter project"....I thought you'd be located in the southern hemisphere.
You're in Canada.....what calender are you using or were you just taking your time??
Sweet looking ride.

very nice. I love the tan seats but don't think one would look too good on my white.

Bike looks nice. Like the seat, the pic shows some finger prints, ya need to hit it with some dtailer and pledge.

I have to ask though, you live in Winipeg, your Winter is 10 months long, what took so long? You have 3 weeks of riding weather left.

Great mods. How are the speakers holding up? Like the seat---nothing wrong with being different.
