I have multiple options for tails and corners on the counter in my shop, but am probably going with Harley-style tinted bullet LED signals front and rear, relocate the plate to the left side axle with led bolts, and run a fish-eye or finned brake light, depending on which is brighter once I get to see them live. I also have an under-the-fender LED brake light on the way to see if it will fit in the curve properly. My tattoo guy wants to do the paint, and I've decided on the style of a p-40 WWII plane. I'm going to commit to rustoleum olive green for ease of application (don't have to remove the tank and works well on metal and plastic) and more frequent touchups because I'm sure I'm gonna screw something up along the way, and I've done multiple fenders and touchups on cars over the years so I know it can really turn out well with even mediocre patience. I've taken the tail fender down half way just to see what was under it and it looks simple enough. I also have several templates coming in to tape off and spray the effects.
Right now the only thing that is stopping me is we haven't had a day over 35 degrees in weeks and there is currently 6" of snow fallen with no end in sight. When I dig into the wiring, I'm going to do paint at the same time. I'm holding off on the exhaust until I can find one that is more pipe and less carbon because I'm going to use header wrap that will match a canvas-style seat I'd like to do. After blackpearlgirl's writeup on the headlight swap, I'm likely to do the headlight in the summer once I've gotten the bulk of all that done.
So it's all just sitting there waiting for a good day to begin =) The road in front of my house looks like an ice cobblestone path because of all the packed down snow and freezing temps we've had over the last few weeks, so I haven't even been able to ride.
Thanks for asking!
