Nice bike.
Were the reflectors and down tube sticker gone when you got it or did you have to remove them before taking the pictures?

Went for my first ride on my new bike, it is one bad ass machine! I had a blast riding around town, I went about 40 mi just to check it out, everything worked great, tons of power and looks and sounds great, I let my son take it around the block and now he is hooked, he's gonna end up getting one eventually, the bike is more than I imagined, it is one Bad Ass Big Dog!

Aside the obvious exhaust, any other mods done to her, cam maybe? or its all stock?

I pretty sure it's all stock Franco other than it looks like there are led light strips under the tank, rear fender and battery box, I don't see any wires hooked up to them though, looks to me like someone removed the power supply for the system.

Mine has them leds too... it arrived home all disconnected... I just had to connect it to the battery again. I never use them, but sometimes cruising around the water front in summer its just awesome.... to see the faces of people looking I mean!

So franco, are you saying that all I have to do is connent them directly to the battery? I mean though a switch also and they should work? On the ones under the battery box it looks like there is nowhere to connect the power, almost like someone cut off the wire connector, but the others still have a place to connect power too, also I see a connector on the positive bat terminal that has been cut, do these led lights connect to the neg terminal also?Mine has them leds too... it arrived home all disconnected...

Yup, they do connect to the battery (with a 10 amp fuse on the + wire), but... you should have also the switch box somewhere in there, on-off switch plus different sequences switch... its a small (no bigger than 2 x 2 Inches) box. I will find a pic for ya.So franco, are you saying that all I have to do is connent them directly to the battery? I mean though a switch also and they should work?

Can you make these pics bigger I think that box also has resisters or capacitors in it to reduce the wattage to the LED's, I'm no sparky but if you hook directly to battery their going to pop. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would do more research before I would juice them up directly to the battery.

Close, but what you're thinking of is reducing voltage. The typical non-high output LED operates at 3.2 volts. They seem to work fine on 12 volts if you run them 3 in a series. Most of these accent lights come in multitudes of 3 for this reason.
I know, I can't help it. It's my OCD kicking in.

As I mentioned b4, there is a fuse (10 amp) on the + wire between the battery & control box also.
