    Looks great! Where did you get that luggage rack from?

    That looks sharp! Small, light mods make a difference. And to think it can be original again easily... brings up the value I'd say.
    Awesome bike Hogfiddles.

      Thank You! It's currently in factory trim.... I didn't do it to 'stay "pseudo" but put back someday'..... Rather, I did it this way so that I can switch back and forth depending on how I need it to look for a particular day, ride participation, wifey riding along, etc.....
      Glad you like it :)

    I just need to know about the rider seat... it's the original? how you lowered?

      It is AN original that was cut down. I pulled the cover, re shaped the foam and re-curved the pan. THE original seat is on the shelf until I need it for the factory look.

    Did you repaint it? Also, are those the stock mirrors? If not, where are they from?
