'08 superglide modification
Hi there,
I bought my first Harley a couple of months ago. I wanted to share my toy after some esthetic modification. What do you think?

When I was in the market for my first Harley, I'd set a dollar figure I felt fit my situation. While I drooled at all the chrome and fancy doo-dads on the different models, The basic, stripped Super Glide (FXDI) was all I could afford.
I am glad it was. I have now had the personal satisfaction you can only experience after 18 months of sneakin ****, first in the house, then on the bike. I have also learned a lot and now have a bike I drool all over as I wear out the odometer on her.
Your's looks great and already deserves some drool. Great idea on the speeo. I bet you will be getting lots of questions about it.

ok, i mount the speedo on the axle with "extra stong double face tape". Sound cheap but work perfectly fine. There was enough space in between tank and riser.
As far as indicator lights, I think of something like the picture. What do you thinK?

Looks good
Im with jmpancoast while there were other Dynas I liked better stock for the money I knew I could turn a SG into what I wanted for less money. 3 months in and I have added alot of stuff and its getting close to how i pictured it.

Very nice!
When you installed the risers, did you have to install longer cables?
