crofz, yes I bought Erci's 07+ fairing off him back during the motorcycle show in NYC then got it painted and swapped it out. I considered doing the forks but I like the look of the silver against the front fender better for now and I'm not sure I would switch out the swing arm.

sweaterdude, that seat is the newer model of corbin seats.

Leave the silver forks unless you want to go for better caliper or USD...
Was this fairing mount easy swap or you encountered any problems?
Can you write up little more about this?

All ready for the winter, might have to pull her out for a photo shoot in the snow though. My winter projects will be getting Projectors installed with pod light turn signals and custom upholstered seat.

I'm at an odd stage and have been contemplating selling the bike, any thoughts about how to price accordingly with the custom pearl paint? Would it be better to try and sell the painted parts with someone who has stock parts or just list it as is?

If you don't mind the hassle, you'll probably make extra $200 or so by swapping parts with someone who wants to swap painted parts with you. It'll likely be easier to sell with factory paint.
Definitely don't expect to get extra money for any of the custom work if you sell it as is.. sucks that it works like this, but it's a fact.

Just dropped off parts with the paint guy to get a new look for my bike. I'll post more pics as I go.

u should consider getting your tank powder coated as it is more durable than paint
and we all know about the smallest thing to touch the tank and its scratched
