Default FLHCS Custom job - new pics

The weather is still not great but I took a few more pics with a decent camera. The bike obviously lends itself to black and white images but I don't think it the aged sepia one works Despite the Heritage styling it still looks too new a bike for the era the sepia tones depict - might be better without the windshield

Default Final touch

I waited a long time for the custom fender badge from Nasty Baggers. They have about a 6 week turnaround on custom badges and the shipping to Canada in the Covid world was particularly slow. I think it completes the "custom" look. No more immediate changes planned except a switch to narrow white walls when I change tires in the next month or so.

Final mod (can you ever really say that......)

I waited till my stock rear tire was pretty well shot and swapped both for medium whitewall ME 880’s. I have the 880’s on other bikes and liked them and they were on sale 👍🏻‼️

I was a bit concerned that adding whitewalls would be “too much” but I am happy with the looks.

Agree/disagree?
