New seat, controls, and pipes

This is how my 99 Superglide looked when I bought it.

And this is how it looks today.

I added forward controls, a Corbin sharkskin Hollywood seat, and V&H short shots that I had the heat shields powder coated since there was a wait on their black ones when I ordered these. Removed the windshield and the other seat obviously.

I have some wheels ordered and am trying to make up my mind on handle bars and that's probably all I'll do. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with it.

Good chance I'll sell it at the end of the summer but if I don't I'll probably powder coat the controls also.

Nice bike...like all your changes and your seat choice for that bike was excellent.

Thanks man! Yeah, that truck is a blast. I was told the switch from the two into one to what I have will sacrifice some power but I just didn't like the way it looked and figured I could afford to leave a few horsies on the table with the motor built the way it is. I can't tell a difference in performance anyway so I'm happy with it.

As far as lowering it, it's definately on the list of things to do. I just haven't gotten around to it yet!
