Re:Favorite Mod 9 Months ago  
Got to be the fairing. Made my own brackets after receiving some pointers from Dave J. But, I do have a one off kill switch that Jay made for me that is sweet. Then there's the Roadhouse Doolies that are cool.

Now if I had me some more cash, I could say it was a new 21" front wheel with a hugger front fender, new baddad rear fender and stretched bags.

Dragger seat combined with a Grasshopper back rest, 4" risers w/12" apes, the 'flip & grind' dog bone and 3" floorboard extensions make for a comfortable ride @ 6'3". After all, isn't that what it's all about???

For me that is the fairing. It looks cool and is very comfortable. The other day I drove without it and I thought to myself how I ever managed to drive long distances. I was broken after 200 miles. It was very windy that day though but I would never go without my fairing anymore.

First was the driver's backrest (made from the instructions on this website) - after that, definitely the Cobra Speedster Longshots with K & N filter!

I had to stop poking fun at riders with fairings.

Haven't done too much yet, but would have to say the Baron's 6* trees and 4" longer forks by frank. Unbelievable the way it handles now.

Baron Tach, no need to look way down at the speedometer while on the move.
