Default Train in Progress...

So! It's been a while since I updated you guys. The Heartland kit went on in September and the pieces finally went to the painters sometime in October... where it sat for over a month. Finally got it back and started on the transformation.

So far: lowering bolts on the shocks, 1" drop. The bike is basically a rigid now, which I expected. I may go for the 422's or air ride next year... we'll see.

Street Slammer bars, these will be internally wired. Not sure if I have enough cable to do it, but if not, extensions!

Powdercoated front fork lowers and rear V&H SS cover. This had begun rusting last year and was only getting worse. I had to sacrifice the little V&H logo plate (it got powdercoated over...).

Towards the spring will be new rubber, probably Metzler.

Also thinking of adding a KustomWorks front fender.
