Default Sportster 48 update

What's up guys this is my 2013 spprtster forty eight. Had it for almost a year. Done some bolt on mods, paint, frame chop, tank lift and wire tuck, light relocation, ignition relocation, fender and belt guard delete. Some things on the agenda as of right now, wire the rear tail lights and side mount tag lights, guy is doing my springer leather seat and some time next week I'll be getting my twisted custom choppers hookah header exhaust AAAHHhH!!! Can't wait! Tired of getting drowned out by other bikes and sounding like ****. I drilled out the baffle disks in the mufflers probably after two months of getting it back last y

ear I. In May sounds ok but still doesn't sound like a harley should. If you have any questions on anything in particular just ask (brands, what paint, time etc)

that looks crazy! I want to see it when you get the seat on. some old school coker or firestone tires would look cool on that also. what size handlebars are those? 16?

Looking good so far! Really looking forward to pics of it with the custom seat on it.

btw, the frame bracket for the seat springs may work better if it is rotated 180 degrees.

Bike is going to be kick-***!

Yea I was having trouble figuring out how to mount that bracket. The way the barrel spring laid down missed the bracket. So I'll
Mess with it again once I get the seat back this weekend. Those are 14" narrow burlys. I'm 5'9" and they sit around below eye level. The spring seat adds maybe one or two inches to ride height so they are gonna work out perfectly.

Well my dad came over and we wired up the DK custom tail lights and the TC brothers side mount tag. Got my exhaust in today from twisted choppers and come to find out they sent the wrong one. Looking at another week and a half for turn around probably. Pretty upsetting I've been waiting for eight months for that specific pipe. Fracking aaaaaaaaaAAA

Here's the twisted choppers header pipe installed. Had to do some bending to the pipe so it would it correctly. Each side was about 1/16th of an inch off. Did some redneck pipe spreading and got in out on around midnight. Anyone looking to put these on, or any header for that fact probably in this shape will have to cut the factory air cleaner housing. Air cleaner housing was to large to it behind the front pipe. I'll make a video of everything I've done over the weekend in when I get my seat finished. I'll be posting the link ASAP.
Oh and BTW it's loud as two Cougars fighting over a bloody gazelle. Like @&$# you loud. I love it.
