Looks great!! I've actually been keeping an eye out for pictures of bikes set up like that. Extreme's was the only one I'd seen, but it was hard to gauge since his was pretty modified already.
Thanks. My bike ended up that way by accident, sort of. I had a full Lightning conversion planned, but I wasn't willing to give up my Heli clip-ons. I tried to make it all work, but spring was approaching rapidly, and I just decided to throw her back together.
I'm actually really happy with the way it turned out. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I also have a carbon fiber pillion cover, but I'm debating on that one (I like the look, but I want it black, and the idea of painting it makes me feel bad).
I just couldn't get comfortable on the Firebolt seat. I have an SCG seat now...I absolutely love it. With the SCG seat and the Firebolt pegs, it's a little cramped, but I get used to it after about 10 minutes of riding.
The more I stare at the bike, the more I like it. I always thought Firebolts looked kind of stumpy, almost like the swingarm was too short or the tail was a little too long. With a chopped Lightning tail, I think things balance out really nicely, IMO.
Next on the list, getting rid of those big ol' turn signals, and picking up something a little more petite!
