SWEET LOOKIN' Machine!!!
I love the 2 tone front fender - very nice touch!

Just my 2 cents - but a wrinkle black primary would really set the look off.
NICE color choice!!!

Very nice.. I love the two tone fender as well.. Very slick

Whats the deal w/ your handle bars. Dont look much diff then stock. Will you give us on the low down on why you switch and if it was worth it?

.... rear splash gaurd painted to match
+1 the rear mud hugger would look nice in green, possibly paint the forks graphite grey

there needs to be more color on the back half of the bike, it looks unbalanced

i think we are going to do the tire hugger.it needs some color on the rear.

also the primary and cam cover would look great black.

and the forks would look great matched to the frame.

i am selling the bike so i dont want to go to crazy on all the extra stuff. the bike has a salvage title, so it is harder to get the money back out of it. let me know if any of you guy need a new bike?

thanks shawn

the handle bars are turner bars [yz bend] they are wider than the stock bars, so it is more comfortable for me. i think the stock bars are made for people with narrow shoulders.

Is that the Buell graphite grey rattle can paint on the rear section? If so, that looks good. and the seat too especially if it's a recover. I've been needing to get my seat cut down cause i'm short, which would probably mean recover if they can't save the stock stuff, and was thinking of getting rid of that stupid passenger strap thingy in the process. but was also thinking leaving those notches in the pan might look funky, but it doesn't look too bad. I don't think I'd worry about it. Or can they fill those somehow?

i am not sure what my seat is on this bike , i bought it from a guy on the board.

The bike looks great! I just got my plastics painted green, and did the tire hugger too.

Nice work!

Looks cool. I actually think the mag colored covers look pretty cool with that green.
