Default My Future plans for thy wide glide

As some of you might know i recently installed bassani pro-street exhaust on my bike. I also have some 14" road6custom bars, that i still need to find time to install. Along with weather/money pending.

Anyways with it being tax season and a slight loan on my 401k i wanted to try to finish up my bike (if possible ) MY possible plans are

Arlen Ness big sucker II ( or maybe cone style a/c)
Thundermaxx tuner
A taller sissy bar from harley????
oil cooler along with adapter and by-pass valve
Front turn sig relocate
hopefully saddlebags for long trips
And if i can squeeze it possibly a new front fender and some new paint on tins( thinking of like a gun metal gray along with maybe blue flames to break it up)
Oh and maybe a tank lift 2" perhaps
it may not all happen at once but hopefully sooner than later

Am i missing anything would like some imput/opinions

Sounds like a great plan. Grey/blue flame would look awesome. I recently picked up some Willie's throw overs for cheap, and did a 3" lift. Going with big guns for exhaust. Gotta love tax time. Still trying to make up mind on tune and a/c.

do you have a side shot of your 3" lift does your frame show much and did you have to lengthen any cables/lines or wires. i personally really like the thundermaxx with autotune, my buddie has a 08 streedglide with power commander 5 and wishes he would have got the thundermaxx to begin with, if that helps at all

I don't have any pics with the lift yet. It's been so nasty out, she's been stuffed in a single garage with a sporty and a softy. I've got the exhaust ripped off, torque cones and gaskets in, waiting on the new pipes.

The lift is on. Got it from Jackyl. Had to extend vent tube and fuel crossover, he supplies both with instructions. Real simple project. The frame doesn't show terribly, almost flush. I'll be posting pics soon as i can get enough room to fit the whole bike in 1 pic.
