I'm not so sure that you should quit your day job, and pursue your dream of being a custom bike builder anytime soon... 
What did you do to your R18 today?

Installed the Roadstyler bag bars on my TC. From what I can tell the instructions they provide are for the Bagger; The TC does not need the extra hardware they provide.
Words would be appreciated....... from manufacturers site: +20...... "Parameters in mm based on vehicle height"
I suspect the shock to be about 7mm longer then stock.
Okay, here's some words.....I must admit that I was somewhat incredulous of your statement about 20mm ride height, I had looked over their site and had missed the fine print over to the side about "vehicle height". Kind of strange that they would use the phrase "vehicle height" instead of "ride height", But there it was. I'm planning on ordering the std. ride height myself, but I'll be eager to see your impression of the shock that you receive.
Actually I did look at it and I asked them for their recommendation for the R18. They recommended their Hyperpro Springs and shocks. I was expecting them to recommend the Wilbers, so I'm not sure how I feel at this point. I am a strong lean to Wilbers based on reputation, However, I think that I'll call and dig into it a little further. Do they make a lot more $ off of their own brand, (probably). But if they end up convincing me that it truly is a better choice, I could go that way.

BigAlcam , ’Who’ was it you asked that recommended Hyperpro over Wilber’s ? Thanks, B.
EPM. They are the Wilbers distributor and I asked them what they recommended and they said Hyperpro. They didn't exactly say over Wilbers, but their answer was Hyperpro.

What memphis shade fork mount did you use?
Good to know, just got my bars but haven't put them in yet. Did you need to take the bags completely off or were you able to slide the rear mounting plate in with just the screws on the hardbags loose?

Hi RyBread, It was VN2000 and I sent you those images couple weeks ago.
I have now replaced it with my home made deflector, no problem with Hwy speed.

Nice work, looks great!
Your custom winglets are much smaller than the Memphis. You didn't like the Memphis aesthetically or didn't you perceive any improved air flow from the protection area under the blinkers?
So what say you, fender or no fender?

Yes, please
At 10 paces looks Uber cool but fender on for me. The mounting lugs are still there so it would look like something’s missing, which of course there is 
maybe add a minimal/artful fork brace to make the fender lugs functional?At 10 paces looks Uber cool but fender on for me. The mounting lugs are still there so it would look like something’s missing, which of course there is
