Ok, thanks to many of you on here I have made a few mods and the bike is looking just the way I want now (except for pipes). Since a lot of the ideas and places to buy stuff came from you guys on the forum, I wanted to post some pics. Pipes will come later when I get some spare cash. Thanks for everyone's help!

Front view - much cleaner look without the turn signals.

Chrome Glow fork wrap turn signals

Low & Mean adapter and air cleaner

Corbin seat

Rear view with Kawi integrated turn signal and side mount plate mounted to axle

Left side view

Chrome tank piece removed and Big Rig chrome ring added to gas cap. Webslinger speedo.

Nice job man, looks good. What exactly did you order from Big Rig for the chrome ring? How did you get the tail light on the rear fender? It doesn't look like you used the stock bracket at all.

The idea for the chrome ring from Big Rig came from SmokenJOE. http://www.bigrigchromeshop.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=BRCS/PROD/FIGC/UP20554

As for the tail light, I just got a piece of metal from Home Depot and drilled 4 holes - 2 at the top that attached where the original bracket went and 2 at the bottom that I bolted to the back plate of the tail light. I used a grinder to shape the bracket so that it fit right.

Cool thanks for the info man. Wow not $10 or $15 but only $2.91 lol can't beat that. Did you get ring with or without the visor?

Corbin takes a little different route than Mustang or some other seats. The seat starts out a little hard, but becomes very comfortable after a break in period. It doesn't feel soft or cusioney but for me the soft seats feel good for the first 50 miles but then over those 50 miles the foam compresses and my butt starts to hurt. The Corbin starts out a little hard but doesn't compress and I can go much farther without a butt break. If you are going to Daytona for Bike Week in Feb., stop by the Corbin dealer. They will let you try it out.

I went to order the Ring... but $14.97 for shipping slowed me down.... Going to try a truckstop... It looks really nice on the bike... if I can't find one locally... might spring for the shipping.

Excellente RatBoy!! Sorry just got back from Punta Cana!!

 

[AL619]

how did you guys mount the ring onto the bike? it doesnt look like there's much of a base on the ring

 

[BrettRTR]

A good bit of clear silicone to fill the void in the ring and then slap it on the tank.
