Default Newest upgrades

I finally got my 14" bars installed and internally wired. Also had the turn signals relocated to the trees. Also I know it looks "cooler" to flip the mirrors, but they line up with my eyes perfectly. I like them like this. Had to ride home in the rain, will try to get some better pics another day.




Rearview, internally wired 14 Burly, with 16" Burly wire kit.








The angle makes it look like the bars are higher than my wife's car, but they aren't.

I noticed so many of you have aftermarket seats... I test rode a brand new 72 today and found myself almost sliding off the rear of it every time I accelerated moderately.

Here's my 72....

2 weeks ago when I brought it home...



A week later and some light modifications (moved the handlebars foward a little, V&H Twin Slash slip on, relocated the mirrors, badlander seat, back rest & passenger foot pegs(this one was a pain to do it).

Ive done a few upgrades since the last time I posted pics.

SE Street Cannons
SE Heavy Breather
H-D Detachable Sissy Bar
Passanger Pillion
Edge Cut Hand Grips
Skull Fuel Cap

The next thing I'm getting is some Big City Thunder Monster baffles to get a little more sound out of these Street Cannons.
