Really pretty basic stuff.... Removed the gazzilion stickers, added an aluminum bullet light on the rear and a nerve retro led light on the front.... Since this photo was taken I also replaced the stock seat with a cloud9 cruiser seat.... Much better, the stock seat lacked springs. Anyway still considering other stuff to do but I am pretty happy 
I went out and took a few more accessory pics in case anyone is interested, I think all of them were ordered on amazon, the nerve light was 34 and so was the bullet light....I think the seat was 25....all of these are pretty good quality in my opinion.

Should work great bobbed too in that same position. the bullet is a solid piece of aluminum which was hallowed out just enought to fit that led light in....it is constant or flashing.
Good looking bike. I bought a black La Jolla with the orange rims and really like it but after seeing the Onyx I think I made the wrong decision. I was thinking of returning the La Jolla and getting the Onyx, or better yet buy the Onyx and keep both.
I built one but since sold it. The stickers were clear coated but the clear was very thin, so I was able to get under the decals with a fingernail, after that I compounded the area where the stickers were and buffed them out, couldnt tell they they were there. They are neat bikes, had a good time with it!
Sorry so late revisiting this.... I went through two bikes because the first seemed to be a return and had some wear.....the stickers on the first were clear coated but on the second they were not and just pealed off easily.... Also weird on the second bike was onyx was respelled onex....anyway I have not modified further other than some small metal die cast NASA and sts129 tie clip type tags I placed on the front back rear and sides... Just my way of personalizeng it a little. Great bike so far... I would bob the tail but it would require some bending as well as cutting and do I was hesitant with out a spare in case I messed it up

I know this is an oldish post and I don't mean to necro it but would anyone know where to buy that particular seat? I am having a hard time finding one with black springs, they all seem to be chromed and I am no fan of chrome.

I like what you've done to it , looks Great ! I may have to take mine off Craigslist and redo mine :idea:
I have one of these myself. I like the bobbed rear fender look but lacked the skills and time to actually chop mine up. So i swapped the front fender to the rear.Not the best picture but you can see the rear fender idea.
