Yeah no a fan of the headlight either. Throw some dominators on there and a flyscreen and you'll be set. LOVE everything else. chopping the rear fairing really made everything flow. Have you thought of maybe fiberglassing some sort of undertail? Love the colors too. Great job!

ya the headlight will change, i actually powdered the whole under tail section, it has a plate welded in there... so i put an LED at the top of that to really make the flake sparkle when it is on

And now for a dissenting opinion:

well today i am in the office catching up on paper work and the wife is out riding wiht a few of my buddies on rockets... This bike was slammed and set up for her from the jump and she loves the power the bike has to offer... so much so that we where going to ride to the shop and get her bobber out of storage, instead she decided that she just wanted to ride the fighter! ha ha ha what have I created... got the LED kit done, sucky pic wiht the cell i know... but i will get one of it moving, looks wicked... also the HID kit showed up, looks awesome, i am SUPER pumped to rock it! here are some pics

Yeah dude, what Don said. Please don't let her ride without a helmet and gloves (especially a helmet). I'm sure you know this already, but it really doesn't take much to crack the old noggin in a get-off. I've now had two crashes (one on the street and one on the track) and I cannot for the life of me understand how some people think this is okay. I don't mean to get preachy, but I don't even know you yet I care about you (and your wife by extension) and I'd hate to see either of you get MAJORLY f'ed up (or worse) just because the law doesn't specifically say you have to wear that stuff.
An acronym to live by: ATGATT (all the gear, all the time) If it takes two weeks to get a helmet - it should take at least that amount of time before she gets on the bike again (other than sitting on it in the garage of course). Brandon -------------------- Current:

my brother and i got home last night and figured we would go meet my dad for a Harley run... well we missed the harley run but met up at the bar... along the way we pulled over to get directions and i snapped these pics... was an awesome ride, was very suprised how much love the HD crowd gave the fighter!
on the way home i took the chop and my brother rode the fighter... he was grinning ear to ear at the handling and overall ride... we where blasting though the Highway last night! man the chop is a blast to ride, forgot how much fun it was, have not rode it since we finished it last
