That title caught your attention? Heh heh.

I thought I'd start this thread for my new b&^%h, "Harley Quinn", the Uptown Ripper:

Stayed tuned....

Some of the first things:

Bought a set of take-off mid-mount SB peg mounts, rear brake foot lever, and shifter. Also got new passenger peg mounts. Having everything powder coated gloss black to look stock, as they where wrinkle black.

Going to Corbin to get a custom Widow Maker seat. Want the back a little wider and longer for the old lady.

S&S Stealth Air Cleaner with Domed Bobber Air Cleaner Cover. All powder coated gloss black.

Black Thunderheaders.

Dyno Tune.

12" West Coast MX Black Bars.

Harley Quarter Fairing.

Later:

FXRT-type full front fairing.

Leather Pro or FXRD-type hard saddle bags.

14.5 shocks.

WG front tubes.

I'm going to start another thread on suspension, as I have a lot of questions on that subject.

Dave

Finally got a moment to sit down and type. Dropped off the bike at the Indy on January 6. I got a set of Mid-Control take-offs from a SB, got those gloss powder coated along with a the passenger foot peg mounts (both were black wrinkle coated, and I wanted them to match the gloss coated black stock mid forward controls) that he will be installing. He is pulling the motor out and doing some mods. He is installing Leather Pro retro bags and a HD detachable sissy bar. Installing the Radius license plate frame with LEDs from Custom Dynamics. Thunderheads and dyno tune once the engine work is done. Will end up adding AIM Kit to clutch for added "holding power", heh heh. Replacing the air cleaner with a S&S Stealth unit.

I'll post up some pics as soon as I get the bike back. I'm already getting the itch, after 2 weeks of not riding, lol.

That bike is what finally pried my softail outta my hands.

I love it so much.

I modded the crap outta the softail, this one I'm just riding. I did add pegs, grips, highway pegs, 1/4 fairing, sissybar and rack.

But for now I'm gonna ride and ride and ride.

I'm not messing with it.

Did I mention I'm just gonna ride the **** outta it?
