Beautiful
Very nice. The pics look like you used a wide angle or landscape lens. That creates the bent look on the first pic. If you have a camera that has a variable length lens, run it out to maximum telephoto and then back up to frame the pic. Better perspective. The flip side is when you want to make someone look like they have a big honker of a nose, use wide angle and get up close.
Gorgeous bike.

Look like V&H Big Radius pipes, looks sweet......
Thank you ALL for comments and the welcome,
Pipes are LOUD but manageable! The windshield is Cee Baily's 16". I'm 6' and find it a tad too tall, it sits 1/4" below eye sight but I'm getting used to it. Seat is Danny Gray Bigseat. I look forward to posting more here.

nice bike and welcome.... one question on the pipes, I ordered those and have yet to install them , I hear those kick up all the dirt and dust every time you start it and park it, is that true?
also, did you remove the baffles?

..BEAUTIFUL bike!!
How do you like the Danny Grey? I am considering this seat. My question is how comfortable will it be on a long trip. I know this is subjective and no two rear ends are alike, but I'd like to know your impression.
.... I am 6' also and have upgraded my '08 to the '10 fairing mounts, so my faring is now at the same height as yours, but I have a KW 12". The DG seat will put me lower an inch or two. This may make my KW12" perfect if you think your CB 16" is a bit high. However I am interested in the CB Dome. Which CB do you have? Dome, Euro, or SSC?
Further, have the cops harassed you about the dark tint on the screen?
The windshield is an SSC with the SERG mount upgrade. No problems from cops about pipes or windshield. The seat is feels fine on short rides and I've done a three hour ride on it as well stopping only for gas. It would have gone better with footpegs mounted on the crash bars.
As for the Heavy Breather, I was on the fence about the cover as well. After looking at several pictures it didn't bother as much and it looks fine now.
