I agree...not to be a total ass but the large headlights completely ruin the lines and cleanliness. Almost making the bike look like a cyclops. Then again that's strictly my opinion.
Thats what makes these bikes so great. We make um look like we want. I think apes fly in the face of a 48 and a larger headlamp accentuates the beefy looking front the 48 already has. But if everyone had 48s the way I like them..........it would be pretty damn boring

This is all I have now, I can take more after the holiday if there is something more specific you want.

CrazyQuady, You make those pipes yourself? I'm going to make my own pipes 2-1 style. Kicking around ideas in my head that kind of resemble your style of pipes.
