This is my winter project - actually its winter, spring and summer at this point. I tightened the last bolt (I hope the last) tonite and I head to Coloradical tomorrow.

Some things I've done:
Electra Glide Fairing, Dakota Digital 6 Gauge cluster, Custom Fiberglass fenders from Barons, Powder coated wheels with stainless and twisted spokes, ACE Tourer Hard bags, lots of chrome by Handler, Powder coated shocks by X'N, Hidden tail lights and saddlebag rails by Highlander Customs (and more parts to come), Bad X seat mod, pop-up gas cap, custom exhaust tips by Kewl Metal, Blue Spiegler lines, lots of electronic gadgets (Zumo, J&M, MP3, Sirius)

We have to thank fellow WIVOs David and Bob C. for their help

WOW, that is one sweet ride.

Are those Tsuku bags?

Where did you get the chrome bag gaurds?
Thanks! The bags are off of a 2000 Shadow Ace Tourer. The guards are actually the stock Ace Tourer mounting system, but I had to have a 5 inch section welded into each side so I could reach the mounting bolts on the frame where the rear passenger pegs normally mount. I like them because they're so big - will be filling them up later today on my way out to Coloradical!! :pepper1:

Great job I really like the look of your bike. I have the same Hondaline bags on mine only they came from a Valk, but basically the same bag. How difficult was it to do the fairing??
The fairing was a long process because we added all of the digital gauges. To mount it we used the Memphis Sheades quick disconnect mounting brackets and then one hose clamp on each side just for added security. Here's a pic of the wiring behind the fairing. :shock:



But here it is cleaned up.



I have to thank my husband for all his work on this. He has spent many many hours over the past few months working on this project and has become quite the electrician!

Personally, I don't like yellow.... BUT, you put tons of thought into that bike, and made one very pretty bike out of it.. I love the dash setup, and the general look of it.. Gots the sweet power of a VTX under all that..

Very cool..

Best of luck with it, congrats on a very nice transformation into what should be how a VTX Tourer looks.. excellent..
