Bike looks real good. The only thing are those spikes coming off the bars. Looks kind of stupid to me but as long as you like them that's all that matters.

Well we can see that you have done a FEW other things besides what you list in your post, but that bike is looking great blacked out like that.

Those bars are kick-*** too.

Nice job!

Nice job!

Yeah, I did a few other things as well. To much to list. Pretty much took every piece of chrome off and powder coated it black. And went with everything edge cut where ever I could. Once my wheels show up I'll get some really good pictures. So far I am extremely happy with the way it has turned out.

Thanks for the compliments!

Everything looks really good. What kind of wheels did you get? The only bad thing about those Rickards bars with spikes down is you have to move the spikes in front, or behind the windshield, if your sweet spot is right in that few inches your F'd. He does make some bad a$$ stuff. I do shows up there in Harrisburg, or used to until the Eastern Outdoor Show got shut down. .

sweet looking I think the bars look cool, I was thinking about going for the Dakota gauges, but that is a pretty price tag for those babies, let me know how you like them, I'm still on the fence. Ride safe.
