heres some pics:
BTW any one attempting this needs to be sure to ware safety glasses and do it out side, you will get very dusty
cant wait to see the fairings on. I almost picked them up a few months ago. Sure looks like your gona have a really nice bike!
thanks! I hope so, Ive been wanting to do all of this since I bought her back in November. Decided to wait till I had a place with a garage and some more experience

Thanks
Ill see what I can do, as you can tell all I have is a poopy cell camera...
thought i would post an update... do to some things popping up its kinda had to take a back seat but I have gotten my "custom wiring harness" done for the lights, I decided to mount the control boxes under the back seat, run the hi low modules to in front of the gas tank, then mount the ballasts in between the headlights...
