Reaping the fruit of winter, My bike's done and with orange rims!!!
So for a couple months before winter I spent all my time on this site figuring out how to make the changes I wanted to my 2010 Street Bob. So first off i'd like to thank everyone on the site for putting up all the info they have because the knowledge on here would never fit in a manual.
I live in North Dakota and this year the snow finally started to fly in November and when I put the bike away it was in the high teens. So I had pleanty of time to get the work done. I just finished up except for making a front fork brace similar to the RSD and i'm planning on making a springer style seat but solid mount. I got a lot of stuff off of the classified section of this site which was great. We still have a couple feet of snow here but its been in the 40's the last couple days so the ice has melted off the roads. I got a ride in today and it was great!!!
The mods I did:
-A $h!t ton of black powder coat, the list is a page long
-The outer rim is Stryker Orange over Alien Silver powder coat
-Progressive 412 rear and front lowering kit
-2006 top triple tree and new risers
-Jerih 21" front trim with the stock spokes and hub but I did buy the extended nipples just to make sure all the threads were covered
-18x5.75" rear rim from J&P and the spokes for that rim from J&P and used the stock hub
-Metzler ME880 120/70/21 front, 200/50R/18 rear
-road 6 customs side mount plate
-coil cover
-switchblade front foot pegs
-HD led headlight and frenched headlight trim ring
-Cut down the stock headlight mounting block by about 1/2" to center it in the trees
-Joker machine front turn signals
-Custom derby cover from Story
-Timing cover from Bitwell
-Rear fender lowered and hole from tailight filled by Southeast Customs
-Stock rear turn signals but ran the wires on the inside of the struts outside of the fender because there was no room due to the 200mm tire
Before this I already had:
-Screamin' eagle heavy breather
-V&H big radius 2 into 2 pipes
-14" Wild1 Chubby Outlawz
Probly some other stuff I forgot. Its been a journey, thanks for looking!!!
