Garrett’s Description:

Ok, So now that you guys so graciously made me BOW you've forced me into this write-up.  I'll do my best and I'll start from the front and work my way back.

Started as a 2001 black and red purchased new.

Went in to get a sprocket for my YZ and left with the Road Star. Can you say impulse buyer?  Never rode it but I saw the potential. 

Bought it in August and started messin' with it at the end of that season.

I'll skip the history of progression and just tell ya’ about it as it sits now.   

So...from the front;

Metz 880 on an X-treme 21" (Niner pattern) rim.
RWD fender blank, polished rotors and sliders.
Adjure bullet light mounts with mini bullet lights.
Joker dust covers.
5 1/4" Sporty headlight (can't remember who's)
Raked Cycles 6* trees (polished)
Baron's Drag bars wired internal.
Braided cables.
Legends grips (holy crap! $$$)
Joker mirror.
Alien Face (probably the coolest mod you can do, IMO).
AIS, fuel pump, and whatever else could be removed.
Various chrome engine covers from Baron’s.
Cal-Customs shift linkage.
Legends forwards with re-worked control levers.
42mm HSR flatside Mikuni, w/ Forcewinder air kit.
Nemesis Racing manifold.
HD Leather frame mount tool bag.
Baron's Nasty Habit pipes with family jewels.
De-horned frame.
Custom seat by me and Ray G. from Looney's DD Seats.
Joker directionals under seat.
Odessy 565 battery.
LED frame light kit.
Yamaha Swing arm pivot covers.
Lowered rear suspension (flip).
Baron's chrome splash guard. 
Swing arm mods to accommodate the 200, ground the brake slider off. Made new caliper mount inside swingarm.
Fender struts.
RWD rear fender blank.
18" X-treme Machine rim with 200 Metz 880.
Joker side mount tail light.

All mods, fabs, and paint were done by me.  To this day, with the $10,900 cost of the bike included, I'm still nowhere near close to the cost of that $30,000.00 black and red Fat Boy Screamin' Eagle Night Train (or somethin' like that) I saw , that got this whole thing started. That was a kick ass bike !!

Well I'm sure I left stuff out so if you see anything I missed just add it in.

Thanks,

-G
