This winter it is coming apart for a bunch of black powder coat and motor work. This will be a beast before next spring.

yeah kind of, its a weird animal but I like it. It is a Dyna with an FL front end and a nacell with quick detach bags and shield and a 103" with a six speed.
Its light so I think after the pipe and high flow and tune she should go pretty good! But this winter it will have cams as well.

I have one that's blacked-out. It's a Honda Phantom.

I'm actually thinking of getting a Lum-Tec watch to match!

^^^Beautiful bikes, Gents... That Honda looks killer!

OP: How do you like the mini-apes? Is it comfortable? Do you get wind resistance w/your arms in the air?

Yes sir! I ordered The pipes Black and got an air cleaner cover powdercoated black so far. This winter a lot of the aluminum engine covers are going to be ripped off and powdercoated black as well, and the lower front forks. I think the Black and Red combo will be real sharp.
