Injected or carbed?

I ask as I have some tins from an 07. The tank has a few dings in it from me dropping it while it was in the box. I have the front fender, rear fender and the side panels also. I'd let them go for a decent deal if they'd work for you.

most all evo. sporty fenders should work .. i've put custom rear fenders & lighting on alot of sporty's.. gives them a very different look, unlike the masses.. a used sporty fender shouldnt be hard to find..

if you are looking for direct bolt on and a plug and play situation, then go with that year exactly.... not doin brain surgery....

if you want to take some time and mock it, like DAVE said, its a simple process..... you might get it to work, might not..... its about the build man...

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.
