    Here are a couple pics of my ride. I like how it looks under the parking lot lights.

    Look's nice as far as I can tell in the dark. Nice mod to the rear lights, looks like a mod to the rear fender too. Show us a daytime pic.

    its a little dirty because I ran through some rain on the way to work today.

    all lights are modded. The guy before had one of those tail light cones as the tail and the other as the brake. I changed them to both being tail and added the LED brake light strips ($17 at Wal*Mart) as far as the fender being modded I'm not sure. That is how I got it. I'm thinking maybe a black wrap on the pipes may look good, but not quite sure.

    Nice! You need a white stripe down the middle of the tank, though...

    Didn't like the position of the stock mirrors so I added some bar end mirrors

    I have the same turn signals as the rear ones, but a matching front/rear set. WPS brand from Bikebandit, wish the rear ones came in red though.

    Right! And imagine if you had a custom leather seat cover that continued the white strip to the tail light.

    Finally, of course, you need one or two Pepe-le-peu decals. :)
