Looks sweet!... question how did you get the factory stickers off? I was thinking of using a hair dryer to unglue them...

Hair dryer and Wf40 left to soak on the glue before wiping off or a product made for such a thing. Easy done.

Hi! How do you like that saddlemen seat? Thinking of getting one for my marauder since the original saddle is bs.

hello americanjambo
im interested in your mod of 
LED speedometer and indicator lamps
was it a big job to do and what type of led bulbs are required as im looking to do this myself, i have done front headlight and tail brake LED ,

im looking at doing the neutral light and blinkers on indicator as in direct sunlight it can be difficult to see the green light

I know this is a very old post so I'm not sure if you'll read this, but did you do any cable extensions or rerouting? Im looking at fitting a similar handle bar setup to my VZ800 but I have very little experience with wiring.

looks great!
