Thanks everyone.
Kerry, Yes! that is awesome. Perhaps if there was a front to it it would be perfect. Are these going to be produced? I would love to cover the rear of my seat when I'm solo.
If you look at the wall of Fame under motorcycles on page 8, thats a before. I had a F-16 screen, but I think I will go back to all natural now.

Well I think I found my first mod! Cool bikes guys!

Nice lookin bike, I like the orange gauge buckets. So I'm guessin you bought the helmet then painted the bike? or were they both custom painted? Anyway real nice lookin.

I noticed in the "before" pic you have Icon boots; how do u like them? I was seriously looking into them vs. regular Timberlands.

I'm a bit curious Antibody.

As SWEET as your bike looks how come you haven't gotten rid of those chunky pegs and installed something a little more racer like? Huh?

That's why you drill big holes in it. And paint the tubes black so the inside forks are very obviously visible.
Cool.

Anti, that bike is so nice! I think yours is the general route I want to take with mine. Want to make me some brackets?

  What ever happened to the solo seat cowl idea we were discussing. [...] I want to see the dream again!




Got too busy to continue persuing the project.  I'm hoping to have all this work I've been doing pay off in the form of enough cash to buy either a Honda Superhawk or an Aprilia Falco...go liter twins!

Was there any special wiring job required for the twin conversion or did the new light plug right in?  I've been looking for some twin lights for my 96 that didn't require any major re-wiring.

Well,
Kingleo75, The wiring harnesses don't match, my friend (the electrician) made a new connector and wired it for me.

Rich500 your not going to sell your bike? If your not and you want some brackets, They can be done for $25.

Flash, I really want to get different footpegs, I just haven't yet. Someday.

gitarman, actually, I got lucky. I designed the painjob, then went to find a helet that would match. I was about to buy a white one when the Icon Primary in orange/white came out. The Icon boots are quite nice. I sometimes wear them when I'm not on the bike.

My twin headlight just plugged in - but it's a 'universal' type (not Buell).

It had a connector that looks like the rear of a H4 bulb and you just use the stock headlight connector on it...
