Nice work! If the build it, I wonder if I can get them to offer it in black? [8D]
ORIGINAL: YYY.GUY
I send them an e-mail and included a link to this thread as well as one of the USC skidplate threads ... just to give them a sense of how enthusiastic we are, and to show how it was a Win-Win situation for both "forumites" and USC.

Here is a list of the colors that they offer, so getting it in black doesn't seem to be a problem.

Normally I'm a function above form kinda guy, but with my bike already being black, I think I'd rather keep it that way.

RE: Larger fuel tank?
I think a 3 gallon tank would not be asking to much. That would be a great improvement. You can't ask for to much with smaller type of bike with out a good look. Iam definetely in for a larger tank if it is made for out bike and just bolts on . I would like to keep the stock shrouds they look really good.

I agree, I think that the space on the left side under the stock shroud would eak out another .5 to .7 gallons. That would be plenty of improvement for me and still have the stock shrouds..
Thats my two cents...
