Looks good Kyle. I'm stoked you are upgrading the suspension, that was one big thing I never crossed off the list on that bike. You are going to have a nice machine soon. I'm thinking black out the hubs and rims or maybe get some black ano Akronts on there...

I was thinking that Bill, I got a guy but that may wait till next winter, it's starting to get sunny here and I want a summer or riding!

Looking good Kyle!
I sport Ikon 7614 shocks, pretty good in my opinion and I push my thruxton as hard as it can take it. In the front I put Progressive, they are o.k., better if I put emulators but I have a feeling this is going to be a cruiser for you so the front end may not be necessary.
Bills right, blacked out shoes would look good.

Yeah that's for sure, as soon as I put them on my suckmaster it got way cooler than it's ever been. I put them on over the winter and wasn't sure how they were going to feel but I'm happy to say after a couple hundred miles they are perfect! I finished them off with a set of Baxter grips and a slick little bar end mirror I picked up off of ebay and they look slick as shit! Now I'm trying to talk the wife into running them on her Bonneville black.

I'm also running a set of Ikon 7614's and they are working out great. They took a good 200 or so miles to break in but once they did they feel awesome!

That thought has crossed my mind more than a few time but I have a hard time shelling out the $125 or so for a set of new ones. Buy the way what do ya think of the new look?

I had the dents pulled from the tank and had it re-shot in the darkest black they make, cut alot of crap off and decided to modify the exhaust instead of the BUB 2 into 2 that was on it. Grabbed some Biltwell trackers and Baxter grips off the shelf, some cool parts from joker and some parts from BellaCorse(great service from Mike).
Hope to have my own little project modded up soon.
Nice batch of parts from Bella as well and ready to pul some unneccesaries off as well.
