    The 675 is far off my friend. Another couple of months away from me even considering it. I am messing with my powder coater now to color match some colors. Just got in the exhaust so I have more LEDs to add now that the rear will be changed up. Sliders/windscreen/tank pads are all ready. Still need to buy rearsets, levers, solo cowl, and possibly some wheels.

    What i really want is single side swinger with led lit wheels....and some nitrous hooked up to a sprayer with lighted nozzle as wife will not let me tap nitrous into the engine. HA HA...

        I love the bike, great color combo. I would paint the mesh blue tho. Also get some sort of blue decals for it.
        Great job

          well guys... bit of an update..

          so went for my first ride yesterday, after finally getting everything back together, bolted tightly, and torqued... bike ran great, except the clutch was having problems fully engaging (clutch handle was getting stuck, didnt have very good free movement)... so i took the handle off, sanded down some of the paint on the mounting point, and put it back in... worked good...

          so then, i figure, while i'm at it, i might as well adjust the clutch cable (it looks to be slacking a lil bit)... so i start to spin the adjusment screw, and , SNAP... screw breaks ... crap. so then i try to pry the broken end of the screw out of the clutch mount, and SNAP!... SH!t!!! ... the mount snaps in half! so now i'm waiting on a new mount and cable (prolly take around a week or 2 to come in) and then MAYBE i might actually get to ride...

          i swear, i really think that god is testing me with this bike... already dropped it twice in the garage... thank god both times it was just that the kick stand just lost its footing, and it fell over on to me, and i was able to ever so gently place it on its side... but, come on... now this ... more updates to come

                      Man, after seeing your signal mod... it really made me wanna do it to mine. I'm thinkin that I might swap the lights for amber LED bulbs though rather than ditch them as signals altogether.

                      Bike looks sick, really like how it turned out. Even the gold forks... they don't seem to fit at first... but the more I stare... anyway. Excellent job sir!

                          oh ok, i was thinking it was a white halo like you see on the audi's and beamers. I got it. I originally just thought that the blue in your headlights was over spill light from all the other LEDs.. looks good man.

                                yea its pearl white...

                                the mesh mod on the turn signals is pretty simple... pull the signals out, pull apart the housing (remove the lens from the housing), paint the housing black, throw some mesh on. simple... the PITA part is installing the turn signal mirrors
