Just installed the Custom Dynamics brake light flasher module. Local LEO's may not like the strobe option, but I sure do!!! :2vrolijk_21:

Me too, added LED's all around, love the position 6 strobe, really lights up the rear when you hit the brake.  :2vrolijk_21:

THANKS for all the kind words.

The bars give my scoot a whole different feel and look. Kinda a "stock custom"  is what I call it, not as slick crazy as many of the badazz bikes on this forum!

To answer some of the questions, I wanted to go powder coating but could not get the right color or pearl. So I had to get them painted to match. I thought about painting (still might, but in NO hurry either way) my lower fairings but I kinda like the slant color separation of the gray and pearl yellow.

Happy holidays,

YB
I like the way the lowers look right now IMO

I have yet to come across one that doesn't. Riders or not, they know the disadvantage of being on a bike. The fact that this draws more attention to the distracted masses is a good thing. An accident for us is also a bad day for them. Especially if it involves a road closure and measurements. The only type of LEO I could see having an issue with this is an uneducated non-rider that's fresh out of the academy and looking to pad his activity sheet.

Saturday was a beautiful 80 degree day so I decided to get the VRod out and go see a friend for a while about 25miles away. Was there about 1 1/2 hrs and decide to head back home playing around some back roads on the way. Nothing but pure adrenalin when it's you and a back road.
Back roads don't last long around here so I was heading for the stable when about a mile away a little old lady turned left in front of me at about 30 mph. Not sure why she didn't see as she was looking right at me but I just swerved hard right onto the apex of where she was turning and MISSED her. Of all the years I've rode that was the closest I've come to contact with a vehicle!
For once I didn't even get pissed as I was so happy I didn't get hit by her. Thought about turning around and going and thank her missing me.
I truly think she never knew what she had had almost done and felt shes the one that may need help. A lady behind me stopped next me up the road at a traffic light and was just in awe and was and couldn't believe what she just witnessed. Told her that's the only Christmas present I want this year and merry Christmas to her.  Ride Safe! :pumpkin:

Yup. 

First ride after the hand surgery, everything still works, nothing hurt.  Smoked a stogie waiting for it to cool off, then washed all the crud off of it.

Patti and I rode about 150 miles yesterday.  Roads were dry and surprisingly free of sand.

What a beautiful bike.
Maybe in a few years Cam will be ready for a new one and I could get his.

Another snow storm today, so I had a little time to add a little chrome to the bike.

Installed a tool storage tube that will hold everything needed to help others...
