First off where did you find that headlight?! I have been looking for an 8" light for my project and any leads would be greatly appreciated. Secondly, you could do something similar (modified to look right on your bike) to what Buell does with their bikes

I think i need to figure out a way to cover the back side of the gauges open to any suggestions

I debated creating a mold for a gauge back but then decided to just put on a headlamp fairing. This is carbon fiber Duccati unit.

I made a two piece cover out of .035 allum. Waiting for the paint to dry I'll post a pic then

Nice work on the gauge cover. Can you take a picture of it with it off. You have some sore of metal bending tools I assume? Skill is obvious

AWESOME WORK FRIEND!! LOOKING GREAT!

I'll take a pic of it off. I used my hands tinsnips and a jigsaw if I had proper tools it would be way more easy. Thanks

I still have to sand it and give it one more top coat

[akckhim]

I finally got the front fender wrapped and some stripes made and installed

Be careful with that Harbor Freight lift. I had one the same... it collapsed & dumped my Skunk, just bent out of shape completely.

[akckhim]

Have not purchased a lift yet a friend is trying to find me a deal on a good used one

I think he's talking about the rear stand for your swing arm.

Ah OK was it the uprights that failed?
