i finally got to install the crossbones AC on my 11 wide glide this evening
and wouldnt you know it, as soon a i buttoned up the cover it started pouring rain here


got a ride in and some photos this AM, not the best due to overcast and damp but here you go.
don't mind the filth, i got caught in the rain twice last week

 

Come on man . . . You could have at least taken a cell pic. Haha.

 

cell pic??? are you kidding.... i hate cell phones with a passion and still use an old motorola flip phone

 

I put one on my Street Bob a while back. Kinda hard to see in this pic though.

Looks real big there, kinda just looks like a black can. I guess if you got black heatshield it would look alot better. Right now with black mufflers and black ac the heatshields stand out. The only thing that counts is that you like it.

You can also say thats alot of people have what i have but i like it. Also with in the last 6 months i have changed my ac style 3 times.

Hey i see you have mid mounts. I have been throwing around the idea of buying mid mounts just for and extra foot position while riding.

 

Yo Ponitac - it's Willie -I'm hoping you can provide some guidance. Check out the post I just put out there. Does your WG run hot on short jaunts? Just got the short shots put on. Let me know what you think...

Thanks! Willie G

 

exactly, so long as you like what you have who gives a sh*t what anyone else thinks....

personally i didnt want an after market free flowing AC. i wanted something that was round
so i could see more of the engine. thats why i bought a Harley in the first place, to me the
engine is a work of art and the crossbones/blackline AC fit the bill perfectly
with guaranteed fitment.

also i agree with the pipes, the black exhaust covers will be coming hopefully by the end of next month...you see i bought the bike in early June and financed just over 8k, right now i am down below 5k owed and want it paid off by November so my personal touches are coming a little at a time.

this months spare cash was spent on the great bike gear license plate signal relocating bracket
which hopefully will be on by next weekend so i can use my saddle bags

 

I hear ya 1HD1C, money. Wish i had more to pay off the bike and mods. You mention you just wanted it to be round to see more of the motor. It is a great looking motor. Keep up the good work and the mods comming.
