damn, dude.  where do you find jeans big enough to hold your balls?  very impressive, and a bit intimidating at the same time.   :banana rock:

looking forward to seeing the end product.

Yes, that is my goal. At this point in time I don't see anything that will delay me. Usually I have to wait on Parts, paint and a wheel. I was able to get all of that early this time around.

Puzzled. Wow can't say enough how impressed I am with what you're doing. Got a question tho. Why buy a 40 grand bike and take it all apart and rebuild it? Why not buy a frame and part the bike together? It seems to me you removed an awesome bike and will create an awesomer bike. Where you could have just created and awesomer bike. I think you have the talent to do it.

That is a good question that I get asked often. For me it is all about CVO ownership. Starting with a frame it would not be a CVO. I enjoy the challenge of building the bike while maintaining the CVO look.

I tend to agree with Glide-Man... Although I realize what you're saying about CVO ownership as well.

Then again, you could be riding a PVO.   :2vrolijk_21:

   ;D

Keep creating, and taking us all along on your adventurous ride - We love it!

I get what your saying and think thats what makes your "builds" just that much more special than all the others out there!

You sure did a great job of that with the 13.  I'm sure we will be able to say the same about this one.

There are two tabs on top of the headlight that are used as wire retainers. I removed them to make room for the amps. I saw this done on another forum so I had some guidance.

I removed the mounting tabs from the amps. I gained about 1 1/4".

The fairing fits without issue. I'll use some velcro to hold them in place. I can get one amp and the processor under the radio. Unfortunately I'm trying to get an additional amp in there also. I'll keep working at it as the space is there and I just have to figure out the correct configuration.
