looks pretty nice... why did you remove the frame pucks? those things are awesome for protection if you ever drop it... protects the frame from dents.
 
Yeah, probably a good idea to put the frame pucks back on, I just got happy with a my new ride and removing stuff. Thanks
 
I wouldn't think that buell would arbitrarily add parts(cost) to the bike, that aren't even visible. I would think it was added to direct air flow to the intake. I could be way off though.
 
Looks nice, however I am never a fan of mods that decrease visibility.

Here's a good reason why, I HIGHLY recommend that you do something drastically different for your tail light:

 
Yeah, that makes sense, Saftey is always a good thing, I might change the front and back headlights, Thanks
 
The most important thing is, that you are happy. We are giving you our opinions. It is just that, another persons opinion. Our opinions don't really matter when it comes to your bike. Please take it as constructive. We aren't dogging you. It does look good. [up]
 
The airbox delete is fine, it's just loud as hell. I would be adding light output, not taking away from it. It may look cool, but once you get tired of being cut off all the time, you'll be thinking of adding visibility to your bike.
 
Yep, It shines through just fine, It has an HID in it so its much brighter thank the stock light. I bought the "VHT Night shades" spray tint. It worked really good.
 
I wouldn't paint the wheels.
You should try to trade or sell them for black ones.
I know I would possibly be interested in trading my black wheels for amber ones if the conditions involved were right (cost/location/condition).
Also, I would put the frame pucks back on.

My 0.02
 
I was going to say the same as the others regarding the headlight, but so long as it's bright enough for you to see and be seen, the tint looks good standing still. I'd also keep the amber wheels. Then you can consider gold accents other places without looking too gaudy.

Of course there are some full-stealth bikes on here that look pretty sick.
