Here's the mods I've done recently that were "supposed" to be saved for winter, but are already done. Internal wiring, drop in lowering kit, and fix IPB.
I'm thinking about some Fat Bob trees. Hawg Halters sells a wide glide conversion kit that gives you a new axle, wheels spacers, fender spacers, and rotor spacer so that you can run the mid glide hub and fender. Then I'd use the black Fat Bob trees. But I'll have to see if funds allow it.
Besides that, I plan on getting some Glare polish and spending a lot of quality time detailing and cleaning.

Do the fat bob trees have any rake in them?

Last year it was suspension and handling now it's time for some more power!
I've got (black!) heads and cylinders at Deweys. Going to 103" & woods tw-555 cams under the street-ported heads. Using KB hypereutectic pistons at 10.0 CR.
Can't wait!

Jumped the gun and started already. Handlebars (Black Chubby WO504's) are on, working on finishing wiring and looks like some of the cables are too long. Then I'm going with the HD cut back typhoon wheels and maybe, maybe a Rifle Roadster fairing. One glitch with that though is they can't match my paint which is the Pacific Denim Blue. Evidently their local Harley dealer can't ship it in because of California's stringent EPA regulations.

I wanted to do that, too ... but, since I wasn't doing heads at this time, I just decided to go with the silver powder cylinders .... I didn't think it would look right with just black cylinders ....
In the future when I end up replacing my heads, I think I'll go that route, too ... and get polished cam cover, trans cover and primary cover ....
