The tires look great! It's cool that your front tire is fatter then the rear of the new Softail!

I like it. Is the Bullet Headlight the 5"3/4 HD one? Looks good.

Man, you need to put the baffles back in them pipes. The neighbors are already moving out....Good riddance if they don't like the sound of a fine engine.

Nice job you have done this winter.

I almost finished that bracket. I just cut the bottom of the plate mount off and drill two holes in each corner to bring the plate up. What do you think?
