Wow we have very similar taste! I've done/doing almost the exact same mods. Looks great!

I really like those bar ends.

Thanks! Share some pictures sometime, would be cool to see what you've done.

I really like those bar ends.

They were actually dirt cheap from Amazon. I just really wanted to ditch the stock mirrors ASAP and these had Prime shipping so I could get them in 2 days. Figured if they were garbage i'd pick out something better but i'm really impressed by them actually.

I'll be duplicating a few of these mods on my FT when it arrives, particularly the blacked exhaust. So slick! How much did the powder coating run you?

 

[MNT250]

I did both shields for the exhaust, the upper shield and the headlight surround ring for $95. I picked the satin type finish 20% gloss black I think it was. Seemed like a pretty good deal all and all.

Great to see the black side panels with the UE logo up close - have mine on order. Looks amazing!

I like those rear indicators. Where'd you get them?

 

[MNT250]

Picked them up on Amazon for $20. They are metal and feel pretty solid. I had to drill out where the original indicator peg sits to fit them but the original signals should fit back in if I ever wanted to put them back.

New pictures, classic seat & classic fenders (powder coated black), and some LED indicators I made. I guess I'll call it MNT250's Modern Classic Icon.

I also peeled off the tank protector later on, just didn't like it much and it had some bubbles.

I like it!
Nice work !

Quick question: It looks like you've changed the clamps on the levers where the original mirror mounts were? What did you swap them out with?

 

[MNT250]

Actually I just swapped sides, so that the bolt holes are on the bottom now.

Ahhh, that's what I was thinking about doing too . Thanks!

Wow, you've been busy! Nice work, and thanks so much for sharing the links to vendors, too. What do you think about the throttle tamer?

[MNT250]

Thanks! I think it actually makes a difference, it might be in my head but it feels more controllable now.

Yesterday I painted the cluster ring and silver accents under the seat satin black.

 

[MNT250]

Today I sawed off the stock plate holder on the classic fender setup, put on an axle mount plate holder, added rizoma club rear signals and made some front LED signals out of eBay cheap 168 LED bulbs.

 

[greer]

That clean fender looks super nice. Is that plate holder required to have a light? Smart idea on those turn signal mounts, too.

[NickJ]

I dig the look for sure! I really like the look of the license plate holder there on the axel. What are you using to illuminate it?

 

[MNT250]

I have two holes in my plate I used to mount it to the old location so going to try to use those, i'm going to get a piece of aluminum L channel, bolt it to the back of the plate and then bolt the stock light to that. The stock location for the wiring runs right along that area so should work out well. If that doesn't work or look right I might try some of those LED plate bolts.
