Putting the Custom back into the Superglide
Just showing off here...finally the weather was cool enough to get out into the garage and put my newly painted tins on. I have a new seat on order and should be here in a few days but I really wanted to show off the bike....2012 Superglide custom, custom front end, 17" profile rim with 140 WW shinko tire front, 160 shinko rear (matching size rims both 17"). Predator mount, Fatbob Shocks rear, and a bunch of other stuff to get it where it is now...still have the bags to put on but here she is....enjoy.

After....
Still have to center the licence plate and make a proper bracket for it...but I like the look of it down there..
Things left to do....I want to drop the bars a bit (4" risers going down to 3" risers), change out the horn to a round one, still not happy with the exhaust, maybe just change the slip on and I am on the fence about going all white for the floorboards, brake pedal and shift peg.....

Great Job !! Reminds me of the earlier Shovel/Pan/days when I would change my bike to whatever model I was into at the time ! Great to see people are still doing that !

Yep, the white add-ons would be nice. As for the exhaust maybe changing the tip to chrome would help. The black/white ain’t cutting it. You did an Amazing job. Can’t believe it’s a bike like mine underneath.
