Finished up the winter mods!
Just wanted to share how my '12 street bob is coming along. I was able to do a bunch of stuff to the bike over the last month or so, and am very happy with the results. My list of things I want to do is finally getting shorter!
Mods done this year so far:
-V&H shortshots & fuelpak ( my apologies to all those on here who gave me great feedback on 2:1 systems, I got impatient , found a deal and decided to go for these 'cause I like the look!! )
-BCT QQ baffles
-Harley LED headlight
-12" Burly narrow apes & LA chopper cable kit
-RWD small round mirrors
-Reduced reach forwards in black
-DK customs black heel rests
-Round chrome horn cover
and here are some pics!!

I have been running the V&H SS since new in 06 because I am a fan of the "look". I know they are not by any stretch a performance system. With a proper dyno IMO it will run good..Enjoy the ride.

sweet ride for sure! I like the work youve done and my reccomend for a next mod would be to get flush mount gas cap and fuel guage.
I have heard however even a dyno will not yeild alot from a SS exhaust there just isn't enough pipe to make back pressure with. Don't quote me on this i could be mistaken.
Don't apologize for getting the pipes you want though man we get it!

Haven't put many miles on it since install, but its running great with Xieds & Fuelpak- seems the run even smoother than before ( I wasn't having any issue besides the occasional decel popping while running just the xieds and slip ons )

And thanks a lot for the compliments, guys! Its coming along nicely I think. For next season I really want to get some mag wheels, and do a suspension upgrade. Figured I would wait and at least get to around 9-10k miles so I can somewhat justify getting the new rubber
