fat rear tire, drill out the RHS engine casings masively, black rockers, carbon pushrod tubes, pipes, AC, gators, could go radical on the tank and frisco the puppy, mini seat, a lot of powder, ditch the headlight, relocate mini speedo, lose the tax disc , clean up all the wires & cables,

weld on is the best way to go and yup, you get a proper rigid look, so you lose the swingarm etc..

IMO i would want to run another color themed across the bike and not just black it all out ,, also i would do a mis of flat, satin and mirror black..

these bars look cool on the sporty,, but i would go some kind of clipons with a rigid back end.. and a frisco tank

A set of black side shots, Joker Machine AC set up and loose the front fender would be a good start.

Yeah I'd immagine getting the bits via Bosken would probably work out cheaper than from the guys in that pic as they are in the US. Last time I looked their custom frames were $1250 and the weld ons around $600-700 depending on if you want a drop seat or not.

If you want to check them out for some other ideas their website is |||::::::::Led Sled Customs:::::::|||
