Default my 75 flh

Hi guys,

have not been around in awhile. Heres some pics of my shovel. I'm getting ready to redo the paint scheme and need some inspiration (or more like a kick in the...) I'm thinking about black with real faint blue ghost flames, with a tooled natural leather seat...what do you think? Oh yea, jockey shift installed yesterday so not on the pics...but sweet.

Pretty sweet! So lets see a pic w/ the jockey shift. Are you running a suicide or rocker clutch?

Dont have any pics yet, but I'm running a suicide clutch. It's taking a little time to get used to but felt pretty comfortable with it today so in a week or so it should be old hat....

Thanks alot...they are 16" APES, I'm 6'2" and 18"'s put my hands a little higher than my shoulders. 16's were perfect. It really has helped my back out quite abit.
