    Thanks Chad, I appreciate your kind words and your work also.
    I filled the holes today in my handle bar clamp,I don't need to spend 150$ on a new clamp. I will sand then get the spray can. thinkin about spraying the head light too. what about those front signals/ forks look better without them-but safety? I noticed IMB4U took his off and looks great.
    Here in Nashville it's too hot and humid for me to ride, so I will Mod-I-fy : )

    Default workin the front

    painted upper clamp, replaced the scootworks 4" phat risers with 2" stock risers

    I left the chrome turn signal clamps off, the black rubber ones look better.

    I am thinking the front turn signals and mirror seem out of place. i feel i need them for safety, so I would like to make them smaller and less noticed.

    first time: I had a problem with the idle. bike wouild not keep a consistent idle speed. it ran fine but at low speed it was rough and at stop it would be high then next it would be low. I replaced the plugs solved the problem its fast and fun agian.

    making some progress on the front of my bobber.
    painted the head light, mirror, lower tree
    replaced the front turn signals with the small black cat eye like the ones on the rear and relocated them on the horn mount. cleaned up the front.
    plan to paint the lower legs. thinkin about 10" apes flat black but I might try to rattle can the bars I have just to see what happens. then the control housings, the rear brake light, and then, and then, and then...................
    I'll post pic's soon. Dave

    Looking forward to the pics. Make sure there's no black in the background, or we may not be able to see your bike. It sounds likes it's getting pretty Stealth.

    Did you move your horn or remove your horn? You probably wrote about that earlier in this post, I'm just too lazy to go back and look.

    Where did you get your license plate frame and brake light? Also is the light bright? LED or regular bulb?

    Thanks!

    here is the link to the side mount. I had to modify it a little I mounted it to the small bolt that holds the chain guard on. you can spend alot of $$$ on one but i didn't and I am : ). check it out at eBay Store - seat pan: harley, gussetts, Jesse James Rival
    let me know if i can answer any ? you have to decide what style of light you will use and buy a bracket that fits the light. good luck
