The old Softail forum has this thread, and I figured we need to start showing what everyone has done to the M8 softails. Post pics of before and after, as many pics as you need.

Mine has not changed much, but I’ll start it off:

before


after







looks good! Where did you find the red Harley emblem?

Ebay - there are lots of them in different styles and colors. I was not 100% sure what emblem I wanted long-term, so went with vinyl. It’s cheap and easily removed. At first, I was not that crazy about the red bar & shield - red is little too orange, but it has grown on me.
