| My name is Kent from South County of Saint Louis, Missouri. I bought my 2009 S-W in May 2013 from the original owner who only had 250 miles of it. It was in New Show Room Condition. Since then I have been duding her up. I had a friend who could bend iron and we made a drivers backrest. I added a ladies clutch billfold to fill the gap in front of the bottom of backrest and a fringed leather pouch to fill-in the rear of backrest at the bottom....Very functional and looks good. The I added the one inch foam to my grip's and applied tie-down strap's to the foam to get rid of the foam feel. I added chrome door-molding protectors around the entire front fender and around the rear black rubber fender....looks sharp. I added BLUE DOT's to my rear brake lights and my first name (KENT) spelled out in chrome letters above the brake light's, chrome Flying Eagles to each rear side above the word's Silver Wing. Next came the coffee cup holder I affixed to the lower right side as can be seen in a picture I'd like to post with other pictures of my ride. I added a small working watch to the right rear mirror so the passenger can see it. I added a Road Devil Bell and Cross to the lower right side of my front wheel assembly, and Harley Davidson reflector's to the front strut and rear body near the words Silver Wing. On the chrome license plate frame I added two chrome drawer pull's, one is a Butterfly and the other is a Bee. "Fly like a Butterfly and Sting like a Bee"! On the front fender sides I added chrome deer sounders for when I'm on the highway....hopefully to scare them away. On my windscreen I added a suction-cup stick-on round compass, and four bicycle-pedal yellow reflector's. It pay's to be seen, I added orange reflective tape on my rim's for night riding as well as the lower floorboards sides. I have a plug in cord for my coffee cup to keep my coffee hot while riding, and small chrome wing's in a few different area's. On the fairing I have two small black leather pouches for storing sunglasses and such. Above those I have a Religious Medal of the Virgin Mary with a Gold Wreath around it. On the right brake reservoir I have a chrome cover with the inscription "Ride Free". I think this might be all my add-on's since I bought my Wing! Before I got her, I rode a 2003 HONDA Shadow A.C.E Deluxe 750cc painted Candy Orange with the special motif. I have her since 2007....Sweet ride, and I also have in my stable a 2004 HONDA Metropolitan 49cc, yellow/white. I have her all duded-up too!
If anyone can tell me how to attach photograph's, please let me know how, but I will attempt on this letter. |

| At least the bloke took a bit of time over his intro, and I actually want to see photos of this 'duded up' Silver Wing. |
