Daystar 13" fork boots. Two color blues - make sure you get the brighter blue that matches your seat.

i actually managed to get oem fork boots and i did figure out how to seal up the exhaust i used black rtv on the inside of the flange now shes ready to go just waiting for a nice day to go ride heres an updated pic of the bike

Not sure how tall you are, but those "lowboy" bars might make the bike a handful.

Took Britincali 3 years to get some taller bars, now he thinks he invented the things..

I hope you let the air out of the forks when you crank them down on the trailer....

Chains lookin' tight too....

Any more "Nit-Pickers"?

Riding tip: Take off the blindfold Brit.

No blindfold, I just close my eyes

Try goggles instead.

Nice bike!
