Default Winter Mods...almost done!

Its taken me over a month to do just a few things (2 girls under 3yrs old keep me pretty busy)...but here is what I've got done so far:

16" Nash Gimps
Painted Front turn signals black, added chrome trim ring, and relocated (using the cheap JPCycles kit)
Magnum Sterling cables (haven't installed clutch or brake line yet)
HD Forward controls
replica '61-'62 Tank Badge
HOGRIDA_06's Laydown License plate mount
Chrome battery band

Still to do:
As mentioned above, clutch and brake line (a must, obviously)
Paint rear turn signals to match front and the "Ignition Switch on Tank Console" Mod (when I have time)
Progressive Chrome Covered 11" shocks (when I have money)

Looks great man!

What did you use to attach the tank badges? Some of the ones that I have seen are hollowed out on the back side....were yours?

Looks good rok. Those Ness mirrors look nice on top of the Gimps.

Thanks!

TheTank Emblems came straight from the HD Catalog. There is an 'adapter kit' that goes along with most of these emblems that they sell. The adapter is basically a metal piece that has 3M tape on it. The badge is attached to this place via two screws (that would have gone straight into the tank back in the day).
