Thanks guys, the list is endless . . . what next? haha

In a few weeks I'll be back in my hometown where there are actually a few places to wheel so I can test them out. Here in the city there is all cement and lights. With 120+ horsepower cement is just boring haha

how well do your wind deflectors work? I have been thinking about getting some, but will probably have to wait until fall when it starts cooling down again, it's getting up to the high 90's low 100's now.

I love them. I will never own a vehicle without them if I can help it. For me it is more about being able to roll the windows down a crack in the rain and get some fresh air, but in AZ that won't be a prevalent occurrence ha I use em daily unless it's so hot/humid that I decide to run my AC.

Might I recommend WeatherTech ones that slide into the window crevasse rather than some cheapo stick on kind. Fixed my rattly window with the added thickness too haha two birds with one stone, as they say.

I've already photoshopped it and completely plan on painting all chrome gunmetal haha things that are functional just take precedence over the aesthetic. Gotta mod the bike and finish my projector retrofit for the truck at the minimum. Then MAYBE I'll worry about looks over function haha but not likely, I have a long To Do List . . .

Close enough. I thought maybe you still had the one where the lower valence was still black but they get the picture haha I'll definitely be painting all the chrome, it's just a matter of other priorities take precedence.

Yeah, I'm north east of them. Someday I want to drive through the Black Hills, through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons and down into Utah to Moab, Arches, and finally to Zion National Park . . . and then all the way back.
