 to the forum! That's a sweet looking '92 you have there, take care of it and ride safe.  P.S. I wrecked my '92 also, but there was no way to bring it back.

Like the black rims and driving lights. What kind of bag mount is that on the side?

The wind screen was a chop job I just finished from a cracked sportster windshield I got for free, I just shaped it sanded the lower half and painted flat black and threw on a honda decal . The hardware came with it and mounted perfectly to the light bracket

I will have to get some close up pics of the mounting, basicly it is stemmed off of the light bracket and secured to the turn signal stems via hose clamp. I ended up painting the engine flat black after taking of the original coating off while cleaning up the scratches. Here's a pic of a similar windshiled that I chopped. The crack was towards the bottom right so I shortened it up and shaped it till I was happy with the look

I kind of like the shovel on the side of the bike. That is utility at it's best. What area of the country do you live in?

I am really curious about the driving lights. What wattage is the bulbs? Do you have any problems with them draining the battery will riding? And how much extra light do they provide? Could you drive with just those in case of headlight lose? And how did you wire them in; did you use a relay and switch or just put a switch between the lights and the battery?

J. I am really curious about the driving lights. What wattage is the bulbs? Do you have any problems with them draining the battery will riding? And how much extra light do they provide? Could you drive with just those in case of headlight lose? And how did you wire them in; did you use a relay and switch or just put a switch between the lights and the battery?
Each light is 60 watts wired through the headlight relay with a seperate toggle switch. They add quite a bit of light to the backroads of alabama and if I had them on befor the wreck I might have seen that S curve comming up

My next project is fabbing a belly pan out of tread aluminum to protect the exhuast. From the red clay and rocks. I have not noticed any drain on the battery from the lights how ever I only turn them on when taking back roads

Hey franktj85 - welcome! Where did you get that grab bar for the back of the bike? And I like the blacked out rims!
