Thanks Pockets,
Still working on some more. New camera, playing with some settings. It was quite late in the afternoon and sun was nearly gone. Black bike with bright background takes some practice. |

I'd suggest taking a wet rag to your pipe though 
Where are you located? The scenery is amazing. |

SO? What do you think? Lots of custom little touches, without over doing it, also RFID cut off switch for starter.

Then there are programs that merge them like photomatix or photoshop. I have a HDR app for my iPhone, it makes real HDR pictures and it was only $1.99 |

Thanks Dave,
First the pipe, it just waits to go. At this moment I am deciding which model (Remus or Blaster). As I want it to be approved for the EU. Also I am looking into coating (or replacing) header to black. Due to some travelling I need to find out when to order. So it will not get sent back, when I aint present to receive it! I will sure look into the HDR pictures. But using different 'stops' on my camera would require a tri-pod or not? The locations are Toledo and Aranjuez in Spain. Great country for driving. For more info I probably better open another thread as I do not want to use this one for discussions. Henri66 A.K.A. BU(E)LL |

I have "Pro HDR" on my iPhone
Henri, I would recommend using something to at least set your camera on. The iPhone app actually aligns the pictures, but the other programs do not. |

Well, It was a long 2009. But 2010 is here, I'm finally back in Texas with the bike I've made my starter mod's taken a few pics. I'll have some more major stuff done in the next month or so. I have alot of 3-4 day weekends for the next two three months. The weather is cold a balls but for the most part dry so I've been able to use the bike as my daily driver around post. So far i have a wopping 600 miles under my belt! It's been all highway and on post so far but I've been hitting a lot of exit ramps and slowly gaining confidence in leaning this thing over. I'm still scared shitless and haven't been going very fast at all but I know that'll come. Anyways, I'll stop rambling and show a few pics of the mods I made over my end of tour leave.

| Dave...ideally you take 3 or more photos for HDR. One exposed normally, one at +1, one at -1. Photomatix also aligns them. I like to 3 or sometimes even 5 or 6 exposures to really crank it up. | |

| Nuage- Looks like you've made some subtle yet clean mods. What bars are those? | |

crossroads -7 degree
Marko, I've done tons of HDR pics, and I've never had a problem with only 2 images. I've done experiments starting with 6 and working my way down to 2. They come out the same. But then again, I'm not a pro photog, just a pro videog and graphic D |

ya know nuage, when I was posting that I was trying to get the perspective and wondered aloud to myself if they were not the
-7's....(considered referencing buellchicks ride, she has the 0's) being that I had just 4:20'ed I figure I would go with what I thought I saw....LOL
they look pretty decent for being rattle can'ed

| Buddha, if you look close on the left side and at around the center you can see where it chipped right off lol. I should of left them off and waited to get them powder coated but I got impatient and had to know how they would look and feel. I'm about to have to rip off the handguards and buy another pair. | |
