Default Winter mods done

Thanks for the help on pretty much every piece installed on the bike. Many times I have been in the weeds and lots of people chimed in and bailed my installs out.



indy outlaw pipe
fuel moto stage 1 filter
power vision tune
sportster 48 bars
L.E.D headlight
vrod headlamp visor
baxter grips
mini black mirror
loner industries top clamp polished
black 6" risers with black top
mustang wide vintage seat with backrest
60's era hard saddle bags spray bombed black
2011 touring air shocks



I also removed a lot of poison sumac from the front yard today. Time for the warm weather to come to the east coast

Looks pretty good but for a few changes -
paint or powder the trees, fork slider and both levers - replace that master cylinder cap and tighten the new one VEEeeerrry gently, passenger backrest looks way too big, and last but not least.......lose that yellow sticker, spoils the look but that's just me.

In other words, gartec81, please re-do YOUR bike to perfectly suit p51bombay's taste. He is, after all, paying all the bills on it, right?

Not my style bike but congrats on building YOUR bike to fit YOUR tastes.

I gave my opinion on ways to make his bike better just like people do here every day, he is free to use or not use that as he see's fit, just the way I have taken others opinions on MY bike - some I have used, some I plan to use and some I ignored because its not what I'm after. The only difference between my post and yours is I was specific while you just said it wasn't your style..........why bother if its not?

I was VERY specific. I said "congrats". He didn't ask opinions or to have his bubble burst - he's justifiably proud of what he's accomplished. We should have the decency to honor that.

Good looking bike. I like any bike that looks different than the one next to it at the stop light. Way to make it yours!

Nice work. What matters is that you're making it yours. I do have a comment and a question: I don't like reflectors, and why do you have one tank emblem? I'm have the same emblems and not crazy about them, but can't decide if I should take them off or not. Your way might have solved my problem.
