Introduction and a question
Well I put it off long enough I didn't post about the new bike because we all know what a 2010 Street bob in denim black looks like. Most of the mods are done.... for now. Problem is it's this forum that keeps giving me ideas and I have been doing stuff in small chunks to keep the downtime to a minimum, the only positive thing about living in Arizona is being able to ride year round.
Before I get to the pics I've got a question for someone I was planning to relocate the ignition to the console and could get to the plug but just barely and could not get the clips off of the damn thing is there a trick to this or do I need to find a helper with smaller hands than mine? Ha.
Now the fun part
2010 street bob
stage 1 with Ventalator a/c, Big Radius pipes and SERT
180 rear tire lowered 1" with tamarack blocks
14" Nash Gimps done entirely on stock wire and cables
2" jackyl tank lift
30" attitude stick black painted side plates
Road 6 curved side mount Custom dynamics tag bolts
Lick' swingarm bag
not shown is the smoked turn lenses and LED bulbs (just installed 10 mins ago) and some Ness mirrors that are on the way
Still haven't made up my mind on a seat (thinking La Pera Barebones) pegs or grips so I'm open to suggestions

I like those tail lights to be honest.. but they look much better when powder coated black. Doesn't stick out so much.
You've got a damn good look bike man. I love that attitude stick. Flows very well with your bike and the gimps. Did the stock wiring fit just fine with those apes? Or did you have to reroute some of the cables and stuff.. ? I wish they didn't jack up the price of that SE 180 tire. Its so expensive now. It used to be way cheaper.
Oh well. Good looking bike man.

Yeah I almost pulled the tail light and mounted it on the side plate but I have no wielding gear to fill the hole and I like the cut of the fender but its started to grow on me. Powder coating later on may be an option along with the sigs.
The wiring was pretty close there is still some slack but not a lot I had to pull most if not all of the service loop out of the back bone. Cable all fit fine the only thing I had to do was pull some of the brake line out of the clip under the lower tree there is still more slack in the brake and the clutch is still in the stock location. That is about as high as I would go on the throttle though. Honestly I thought it looked bad with all that extra cable and just the stock minis on there
Got lucky on the tire, dealer worked up the paperwork then the bike showed up from another dealer setup that way so it got thrown in for free, but isn't that how they get you the first hits free then your hooked for life
. I may look into pirelli night dragons when it's time for a new one
