Did an S tail swap on my 09 Firebolt. I painted the seat rails and tail piece black for now, but I'm thinking I'll have them powder coated this winter along with a couple other pieces. Took it out for the first time this afternoon and it feels great.
Thanks to oh9bolt, who I annoyed with endless questions and hooked me up with a few of the pieces I was missing.
When I was laying in the hospital bed hours after totaling my Lightning in August 2014 I did a lot of thinking about the bike I wanted next. Now my Firebolt is pretty damn close to that dream bike.
