So I could not wait to share my progress. She is not totally done but she is road worthy again. Just in time for a snow storm headed my way?!?!?!

I have to thank PurPony for his assistance modifying my heel guards and doing my powdercoat. Nice work my friend! I have to say again your tail turned out awesome! Similar but definitely different than mine.

Just have to clean a few things up, bolt on a few more trinkets, paint my front fender borrowed from a Duc, remove a few unused mount tabs, complete and install my new exhaust and I have a friend who is going to rework my seat. I think I will be good till next winter.

I have a feeling next winter I will be tearing it all the way down for a frame and wheel color change, Maybe some xb wheels.. who knows? I am thinking about black on black on black.. some shiny but mostly flat.

Nice work. What are you going to do for turn signals?

Thanks Dave!

Sdecp... The rear brake and turn signals are an led strip I got from Radiantz. I dont like the way its mounted and I am planning on building them into the underside of the seat pan when it is apart to be re-upholstered.

The front turn signals I was trying to be all sneaky and mount amber led rings inside the xb lamp housing. In theory it was a good idea but didnt really work out. When I order more led strips for the rear I plan on mounting the flexible amber strips on the sides of the headlamp assy.
