Very nice! The seat is slick. Looks just like what I'm looking for.
You mentioned that you were going for a subdued look for the seat, eh? Kinda went the other way with the paint job, huh?! (Kidding, of course. It looks amazing!)
I'd post some pics of mine, but it's a work in progress. I just bought the bike last week, and it still needs a lot of work.
I have an OEM rear fender on order. I just bought some new drag bars, has Vance & Hines pipes. Removed the windshield, saddlebags, chrome trim on fenders / tank. Removed emblems on tank / side covers. Removed upper seat / sissy bar. Removed Taillight assembly in favor for a new integrated LED (Blinker / Taillight all-in-one, smoke colored) assembly.
The following is a picture of the bike "before." Aside from a small dent in the tank, It'll be ready in a week or so - as soon as I can settle on a seat. - I'll have the tank repaired before spring - I'll likely paint the bike when I have the tank fixed. Considering a flat black. I'm not a fan of chrome and flashy stuff. (Though, I again admit - your bike is a head-turner!)
Small picture - I copied it from the craigslist listing the original owner had.
PS - Take out the trash - before the wife yells at you.  |
I bought my bike back in May and it looked TOTALLY different then. I have made a ton of changes.

The paint happened only because I made a mistake and gas ate the other paint job... I went with lightning, because flames are somewhat over done (IMHO) and I wanted something "different". They didn't have a "lightning" option at Corbin or I might have done that. Although, it might have been "too much".
Anyway, your bike looks really nice too. I know you will make it your own and am very interested in seeing the progress you make. There aren't too many BUBF models on this forum. It's nice to see another.
I noticed you had the forward controls. Do you like them? I was debating between those or a set of floor boards.
Anyway, keep me posted on your progress.
Again, WELCOME!
