Default 04 Lowrider Project (almost done) - PIC HEAVY

Hey everyone i finally got the bike back together and thought i would share the pics.

I bought a 2004 FXDLi that had been wrecked and i wanted to rebuild it as a project but nothing too crazy or custom since money was def an issue (when isnt it?)

> powder costed the tank and fenders
> I changed the bars to 14" chubbys, ran the wires inside (pain in the *** lol)
> new braided clutch, idle, throttle, and brake cables
> wasnt too fond of the stock dyna front fender so i changed to a nesi
> chopped about 6 inches off the back fender and relocated the brake and turn lights
> side mount license plate
> added forward controls
> dropped the back end down another 1.5 inches with slammers
> added V&H short shots
> ended up having to add a Thundermax and having to weld in O2 sensors since my EFI bike didnt have any stock ones
> low profile gas gauge and filler
> mustang seats with back rest

Just cause i keep getting asked.....yes the pull back risers look odd and they are only a temp fix while i get the spike straight ups fixed up.

Looks good! One thing I would've done differently is left the long rear fender. Imho it doesn't flow very well with the long front bobbed rear.
