Love the blue. Is that non-metallic, what color?

[slates74]

It's actually really metallic and almost translucent looking. I can't seem to get a good pic of it. It shifts from dark blue to purple depending on light.

I vote for the single headlight...

I'm right there with you in your love of this machine. It's comfortable, fast, nimble and unique. Character in spades and I don't know about you but I always get tons of compliments on it.

Personally I love when people are constantly asking what mine is lol even with the bug eyes nobody knew. Here in fort worth if it's not a full fairing bike nobody knows what it is.

What clip on's did you go for? Did you have to get new bearings for the rims after the powdercoating?

I REALLY Dig the black forkes on the 08's
keep the bug eyes , I blacked mine out with plasti dip paint just to see if I liked them ( it peels off real easy ) and I Luv them more now , going to get them powder coated over the winter .........

I did opt for new bearings. As for clip ons, they are woodcrafts.
