I think I'm about mid-way through on this bike, lol. I've got a little list and I'm checking them off as I can. Love this thread! Nice looking Sportsters out there...
Love the after. How much of the work did you do yourself?

I did it all except I had the exhaust changed out right after I bought it (new). I've since taken the exhaust off and re-installed it when I wrapped it. I wasn't sure what I was getting into at first though and wanted to keep the warranty intact. I have a few more mods in mind before I paint it. I'll definitely post pics - you guys are the only people I know who care about bikes so I welcome the feedback! Here's the latest - ditched the stock rear signals for an LED strip and wrapped the pipes:

What is your headlight mod? I've been looking for a 48 headlight hoping it would be a cheaper bottom mount light but haven't had any pop up on ebay. I've seen headlights that look like yours for a decent price on amazon but concerned about quality for that kind of price.

Custom Chrome Bottom Mount 5 3/4" Headlight. Wasn't exactly cheap but it met all of the requirements I had in mind. The stock light just wasn't cutting it when I was riding in the dark. I didn't feel safe, lol. This one really lights up the road.
