Added to my 06 FXDI - mini apes and OEM chrome laced wheels
A couple pics of things added since my sig pic:
Trotter was generous enough to pass on his take-offmini apes and cables. Put them on to replace the buckhorns. These make the bike much easier to maneuver and a lot more fun to ride. They have also relieved a lot of the numbness in my hands.
I have hated the look of the cast wheels since I bought the bike. Been searching for a deal on chrome laced wheels and finally found them. I got the front with rubber for $135.00 shipped from a forum member, the rear was a new take-off with rubber from eBay for $229.00 shipped. Sold my cast wheels for $250.00 plus shippingto a forum member. My rear tire was about gone. Got the new wheels and tires for less than half the cost of just a replacement tire.
Of course, I am fishing for some feedback.

Hey, its not that its starting to look like a Street Bob.
Its just that Harley designed the Street Bob based on my visions of the perfect Super Glide.
