Tear Down... only the frame and motor were left intact

Close to being finished...
Customizations include:
PM Wrath Contrast Platinum Cut Wheels, 21x3.5" front, 18x5.5" rear
Metzeler Tires, 140/70-21 and 200/50-18
PM Rotors to match
Rush Crossover full exhaust
Sputhe Stabilizer
Hawg Halters 5 degree triple tree set
Progressive Suspension, 1" lower in rear, 2.5" drop in front
Ness Big Sucker Stage 1
Boyesen Power X-wing

'Get-a-grip' grips
Chromed stock levers, derby cover, mid-control brake pedal
Mid-control brake pedal mod - http://www.moccsplace.com/images/harley/pedal/pedal.htm
A few custom home-machined goodies

Things left to do:
1) I'm working on a custom mount for the stock front fender, although I like the look of the big 'fat' tire
2) Coil relocation kit: http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/99-1...n-Kits_c52.htm
3) Horn relocation
4) Custom garage door opener
5) Custom paint... someday!
