I don't know if it's just me and my ADD, but I keep changing my mind on this build.
Just got back from my first test ride with the 8" stretch at stock height and the mini 12" hotdog muffler (using the stock air filter as I'm still trying to work out where to put the new airbox) and it surprised the hell out of me, still tipped in well, cornered well and the rear suspension is actually quite responsive, if a little firm.
I was riding down a street in the industrial area, a little too quick and weaving to get a feel for how she turns in when I got a flash from the boys in blue (well, they wear green over here) so I slowed down and pulled up at the next lights, wondering what he was going to ping me on, the side mount plate, the loud exhaust, no front or rear fenders, speeding etc. he looked the bike over from his car, gave me a smile, a thumbs up and a "Mabrook" which translates to "you are blessed" and is used as a congratulations and then tried to race me off the lights.... Some times I love livin in the sandpit!
Now I'm liking the nacelle or headlight surround or whatever you want to call it, and it's got me looking for brass light trims and dial surrounds, I'm also trying to find amber lenses for the running lights and will delete the front LED turn signals and re-run the flasher unit to use the running lights instead.
Also thinking about flipping the bars to lower the look even further.
I'll head out for a ride to the stables in the next coupla weeks and see if I can find a saddlier (?) who can do some emboss and braiding work for the seat
Anyway, ramble ramble, thats enough for tonight
