My KawiGlide

Got my bike all set up with a Reckless fairing and DMY trunk reinforced with 3 layers of fiberglass inside for strength. I will be posting a link to my blog with the whole process later.

Pissed I hate you!

Naw, just kidding. I have a 09 with the same paint scheme. That's pretty much how I want mine to end up. Looks fantastic!!!!!
I'll be PM'ing you with some questions about how you got it like that.

Enjoy!

Handlebars

What handlebars are on it and did you have to alter any of the hoses/lines. I'd like some bars a little higher than stock, but don't want risers because that'll probably interfere with a future fairing.

Thanks,

That's a great looking ride....nice job! I was thinking of lining my Voyager trunk lid with fiberglass for extra strength as well.....maybe this winter before next years long rides.
