Default finshed the front end
i know its nothing like some of your builds but this was all i wanted to do for now,next winter im going to rear end. 14'' bars, edge cut levers, dash insert and ignition cover, chrome switch housings,chrome mirriors, painted inner fairing, led in the gauges, rockford fosgate 6.5'' power speakers and 300x4 amp. chrome forks and bunch of various chrome pieces.
i had added a few things through out the summer, 4'' rush slip ons, heavy breather and PCV were the bigger things and few small parts. im going to do cams and header pipe in the next cpl of months leaning towards the 777's

I like the contrast from your inner fairing to the rest of the bike.

Sure does look nice - the chrome front end is amazing. Someday I can hope for a chrome front end on my bike.

Bike looks great! I agree color matching the inner fairing would be too much white. Did you paint it gloss black? It's hard to tell from the pic. Also, the chrome front end looks real nice.
