Default chopper face lift

alright! My brother (midnightripper) and i are doing some mods to make his chop a little bit more comfortable to rock for long trips as well as put his always have to be modding twists to it
last night we got the brackets made up for his fog lights (all the bulbs in the front are being swapped to high intensity LEDS)... re did all the wires in the front of the bike and tapped in a power source as well as added 2 running light LED's on front, mocked up for the oil coolers we are adding (thats right 2) re did the internal throttles and lubed the cable... WAY more to do... but this puts a HUGE dent in it!

the chop


one of the oil coolers we are running along the lower frame rails


there is a little section in front of the motor... ya... that is where we had to get into and solder all the wires and tap our power line... fun


internal throttle finished


Got to keep it organized... this table has all the stuff that needs done
