Sweet, il be hittin you up in a few weeks for the work.
 
hey guys, been a while since ive posted, but since then ive done a bit more to the bike, usually in the late hours of the night cuz ive been so busy, but yeah lol... anyway, i was able to get some new glam shots in with my real photo equipment about 3 weeks ago and wanted to post up some photos... i have a bunch more to edit, but here are some for now... more will be coming over the next few days/weeks..

did a shock mounted dash to reduce vibration at gauges and added a belly.so now other than piston size and the untouched areas in the frame, its even further from stock,..

EDITED 11/2/11-----pics added.

I cant agree more! I think the new mods take an already badass bike to a whole 'nother level! We need a re-nomination for BOTM. Keep up the good work! 8)
 
Whole new level for sure! I love it. Congratulations on a fantastic job. More photos?

Wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up a few different places.
 
thanks guys! :)
i have been sooooo busy that those things i was able to do were really relaxing, it was nice to unwind and disconnect for a little while.
il have more photos tonight.. il post them to that same post so the photos stay together.
maybe do a more detailed mod write up too, i was never to detailed with this build. anyway. more to come. thanks again fellas.

Hell ya man! Josh this this is getting to b very refined and detailed. Thats what happens when one holds on to to a bike for a sec....
 
awesome bike man. superbly executed. not a fan of those harley fairings (i think the other one that was posted in this thread would look exponentially better as its more race, but thats just my tastes and opinion), but otherwise phenomenal. Ive been thinking about a belly pan for a little bit and think you just convinced me to go for it. looking forward to that write up. keep up the great work.

i agree man, i think after the excitement of trying to finish dies out you start looking at things in a different way, and its pretty rad, i think il be holding on to this bike for a bit longer..
