So I got my bike back together, now I can actually show off my new parts! Just before the wreck installed were the Rizoma turn signals from Trojan, and the Valencia Orange Translucid airbox cover from DaveS. The color matching on the airbox cover is almost perfect to the windscreen, and I love how it shows off the American Sport Bike open airbox kit. Installed after the wreck are the XB9 (black) primary cover and the tail bag, both from DaveS. The bike runs better than ever! Thanks to everyone who helped me out! Without further ado, here's the pics:

Take a look at his passenger footpeg mounts, the turn signals are LED's embedded into the bars.

Sweet.

I have the American Sport Bike integrated turn signals, and I tied in the LEDs I embedded into the passenger footpegs to those to make them more legal.

i was planning on that about a year ago, but i never leave my foot pegs on long enough to justify it so i said hell with it. looks as good as i thought it would!

Cool combo.

I like the LEDs in the passenger pegs too. nice sleek idea.

The factory should take notes on ideas like that. A longer narrow housing attached
to the passenger peg mounts should have enough surface area, be far enough apart,
and be visible in the proper sight radius if the lens was designed right.

Looks good!

you need to change the color of that air cleaner lid, paint it black. I like the orange, i like all the translucent colors., Nice bike.

Ft bstrd,
It's a one car garage, and yes I know I need to clean up. I was just so excited to get riding that I didn't feel like it.

Jwhite601,
Yeah I'm probably going to find me some gloss black to paint the air filter cover. I'll still be putting an American Sport Bike sticker on it though, gotta give Al props.

And to everyone,
Thanks for the comments, it is definitely good to be back on the road! Granted it's getting cooler, but I plan on riding through the winter. The only thing I have left to figure out is why my damn turn signal switch is so finicky now.

Sam
