Default Finally!!

So I've been waiting to put these bars and mirrors on since last October. Originally had an order put in to Excel Components for grips, but they couldn't get their **** together in the three months I gave them, so I went in another direction.

Thanks to this forum for all the good info and tips on here. Those damn Molex connectors were a royal ****ing pain! The plastic piece in the middle didn't want to come out easily at all, and then snapping the damn things back together became a problem. Lots of cursing, and almost breaking things solved my problems though

Here are a few pics with my new Fat Drag bars, Arlen Ness mirrors, Avon grips, Joker Machine pegs, Drag Specialties horn cover, and smoked signal covers. The back lenses are still red, need to paint the bulbs red with some high temp paint. Still have the old 40's style tank badges to put on, and eventually want to either paint the lower forks, or send them and the triple trees out for powder.

Thanks a lot. Trying to keep with the old school/ "new school" look. I would really love to get some different spoke rims from hdwheels.com, but I just don't have 3 grand to spend

Great looking bike you've created. It looks like it is moving when it is just sitting there. Everything you added has a flow to it.
