We did leave some things off for the Iron & Air photo shoot due to some time restrictions and last minute nature of the shoot. Those items have since been installed and / or rectified. 1. There is a front fender (customized from the stock front fender) that has accommodations for the stainless steel brake line to mount to. 2. We did realize that the front Avon tire was mounted backwards and have since remounted the tire correctly. 3. Rear brake lights, running lights are on a custom, axle mounted tag bracket that is wired through the swingarm (not ziptied to the swingarm) Thank you, and feel free to send any other questions.
