nice ride, remind me of when i was 18 and first got my vl ..excited as..always spending $$$ on it, sold it for $3500 after spending heaps on it..worst thing i did, miss that car, sold to a mate who didn't look after it very well, I'd Rims, Lower, Dark Tint, Respray the original colour with asteroid silver bars and side moulds, black around windows, slimlime plates, and keep it a cool cruiser these things look nice when mods kept simple. Love these things..always will have a soft spot for VL's

Well guys bit of an up date, backed into a pole last night. Thankfully didn't do panel damage and just broke the top plastic mold on the bumber. And chipped the tail light, all on the right hand side. Still can't believe i did it.

Looks awesome mate, personally i like the MX grey bumpers you have on it. With the SSV's mate you'll be loving it! Looks like a nice and smooth ride, and about the backing into a pole, don't worry about it, it will happen. Thats the thing about having expensive paint jobs and slammed cars, they scrape and you have to be a perfect parker and never in a rush! I know from experience... Look after her boss, if i see u out on the hwy i'll give you a thumbs up, it will either be you or the other guy with the blue SL. Haven't seen any others around this hood.
