As invisible as we are, you guys are taking off your reflectors? The thought of replacing them with skulls has crossed my mind, but the added safety/visibility outweighs the aesthetics here in my opinion.

IF I take mine off, I'll replace them with stealth black reflective tape.

They don't see me, unless it's as a target, so why make a more visible target?  As far as I'm concerned, it's my job not to get hit by some idiot who wouldn't see me if I was riding a bike naked with a chicken on my head.  Plus they would look exceptionally stupid on my particular savage.

Like my football coach used to say, "Head on a swivel!"

Oh, starmom,  Love yours!  I think I would've left the badges on though...  Really like that color.

Some stuff stays, some stuff goes... I'm a whirling dervish!

I can't remember if I've posted a piccie of Thumper in this thread yet. Well, here she is:



Very minimal exterior mods. I like her outsides just the way they are. (I did the rejetting thing, though.)

As you can see, my side reflectors are very obviously still on my ride!

I haven't put my new Harley Sportster seat on yet but here's some before and after pics of my bike.  I had a friend who has worked for Maaco for 17 years paint my bike this awesome HOT LAVA ORANGE!  Any opinions?  He charged me $150.  NO lie! Looks great in the sun if you can't tell from the pictures.

Before:





After:









I replaced the buckhorn bars with Harley drag bars (bought on eBay), ISO grips, screamin eagle muffler (bought on eBay), custom bullet marker lights both front and back (front ones not yet installed, bought from J&P Cycles) and Harley seat (not yet installed, bought from eBay).  This has been a great bike!  My husband likes it a lot and mentioned maybe getting another one for him to fix up like mine.  He has 95' Kawasaki Vulcan right now.
