Good projects listed here. There is alot of excitement tied up in the process of researching and obtaining parts. That excitement definitely helps during the longs months of rain and snow.
My wife want us to save for a baby..so not alot of cash avail. But I do hope to powdercoat my wheels blackchrome and add a thin red stripe around outer rim. I also have 12" Z-bar apes that are awaiting risers and cables. I guess I need to get off my butt and start working more overtime.

I plan to fit either new risers or mini apes on my 883low, I guess it will take me all winter to discover what cables i need to elongate ..but hey there's month's of snow and frost to play with

Very cool Tweakin and JRK! Ive been lookin for a one to wrench on but no dice yet. I found one for $300, but havent got a reply back from the guy yet.
Winter mods, new apes, maybe some powdered rocker covers and forks and probably some chrome
