Default Show us Your Winter Mods

I have an 08 Black Denim Fatbob that was pretty much stock before this winter, the only thing it has was Rush slip ons.

Most of what I did was cosmetic, don't have the cash for major motor upgrades.

I added Battistinis Grips, Ness mirrors and Drag Specialties Levers




I also put on matching Battistinis pegs and shift peg



Finally, I powder coated the heat shields and mufflers



What do you guys think? Now lets see what you all have been working on this winter.

Still got more black parts at the powdercoaters getting blackend such as..
12.5" apes
triple trees
fork sliders
4" chubby risers
I like those Battistinis..they are the pegs and grips I would like to have..just haven't been able to bring myself to pull the trigger on them...your Bob is looking real good!!!
