I like it. I was very apprehensive about hitting the bags. Aired up it would be tough although not impossible to hit the bags. The front and rear air ride is nice. I spent a lot of time finding the sweet spot. The initial test on Florida roads is that the bike rides very smooth. The belt drive makes some noise around town and quiets down out on the highway. It doesn't go totally silent however it does tone down. The Dragula pipe is great, nice deep rumble, barks around town. The turn down didn't make as much of a mess/dust cloud as I anticipated... wait until I pull the bags off. The air compressor runs often with the front and rear air. I did tinker with Rich's bike which has dual tanks and I didn't find it to be any quicker. Actually I think his compressor runs more to fill two tanks. I may do another bag change for no other reason than I saw something.... Debating on whether to sell just the bags or complete with fender. I really like my fender however I have an idea for that also......

Lol Mike you have the sickness. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. I am sure Rich won't be able to leave his alone either!  :P

Talk about "eye candy"?

Awesome ride Mike.  :2vrolijk_21:

I'm sure it was a real crowd pleaser at the rally.

I continued to goof with my gauges and I just couldn't get them where I was happy with them so I took the bike to a professional while in Daytona. His work is flawless.











Lights off






Lights on



I did not notice any loss of light at night, the gauges are still clear. With the OEM lighting and the orange tint you don't notice the tint at night. During the day the gauges pop with the orange color.

No, however I have looked at various size cameras. I simply don't know where to put it without the camera standing out. A pencil type camera may mount high up around the saddlebag lid, maybe.

Thank you. The goal was to keep it looking "rideable" and not cross over to full custom looking. Why? I don't know, maybe just the challenge!!!

It does look great, surprised to see you got it all done in time for FLA.

At least with this bike we don't have to worry about getting kicked off the speedway  :'(
