Okay, so I really haven't done that much. It's mostly decal rearrangement, but I have put a few things on, like the Tuono mirrors, a heat shield, DHM sliders, and Rhino barends. I was going to wait until I installed the Crossroads pulley cover before I posted any pics, but Al's taking too long getting it fitted for the Ss.

If anyone's curious, the pegasus decals are a custom job done by http://www.fastdecals.com, and were a PITA to put on (those little silver outlines are separate pieces, and wanted to wrinkle around the curves because of the much stiffer backing material). Still, I'm tickled with the final outcome, even if I may have but them on a bit crooked! The "buckle guard" is a tank pad I picked up from http://www.twistedthrottle.com/ .

Not to hi-jack the thread but the mirrors are from an Aprilia Tuono 06/07 variety

NICE

Lose the Buell decals on the frame. Too much going on. Keep 'em wondering! Too many decals ends up looking like a squid bike, boy racer job. Just my $.02.

You just like people asking if you have a Ducati. I prefer not having to answer that question. Also, if someone sees the bike parked somewhere, I want them to know it's Buell and not go away wondering, or possibly thinking that it IS a Ducati. Better publicity for Buell!

I agree on the Publicity, The ONLY decals I have are an Icon and Amsoil on each side of my chin spoiler and the amber BUELL on the Airbox. Had a guy come up the other day and tell me Nice Buell..I Love it when they know what it is..
