    It's freshly painted, but I still need to rub out and polish the tank and paint the Maxim logo on the side panels. I still need new front turn signals to match the back ones, and I'm still entertaing the idea of 2 round driving lights. I also added a new horn (a compact air horn) its 135db loud, I mainly added it just so that I can be heard......

    Input please.......

    The saddle bags I bought off of ebay and all I did was move my turn signals back a little bit and cut the strap thingy that connects both sides so that the seat would close. The horn I bought from Harbor Freight and its actually an air horn the air compressor and the trumpet thingy are all in one unit.

    If you got a small tube of chrome polish, you could make your exhaust look much nicer. It looks like you have rust running down the pipes. It looks nice though! What type of paint did you use?

    I know I still have to polish the mufflers, and get rid of the rust on the headers. I just used cheap Walmart spray paint

    Impulse,
    How do you like those saddlebags? I'm thinking about putting a pair of them on my chop (need to carry things when I go to work) and need some cheap bags. Your's seem to fit and look pretty good. Just wondering if they are a good buy or not. >PD<

    I like the saddle bags, although they are not the highest quality, but they get the job done.
