In the past 10 days or so I have added foward controls, removed my backrest pad, and swapped out my handlebars for the 08 fxdc stock bars. Each ride subsequent to doing so has resulted in someone coming up to me and complimenting my ride.
Before I had recieved 1 compliment in like three months from a stranger.... I guess I have gone down the right path for my ride.
It does feel good to get these compliments for sure.

 

Well it does look good!!!

 

oh... also ditched the yoke from the saddlebags and mounted them to the supports.

 

thanks for the update!

 

Your bike DOES look sweet! I plan on a small backrest and if the wife makes any comment about no pad, well.................... [:@]
