Bella turned 2 today!
Two years ago today I traded my Softail Slim S in for my 16 Street Glide Standard.I still miss the Slim at times, but I do not regret my trade whatsoever! I had a lot of plans for my SG, which I named Bella. Slowly, I have been getting her to where I want her to be. So I thought that I would start this thread to chronicle where she has been, where she is now and add to this in the future. I hope you enjoy!
Here she is, ink still wet on the paper, the day I got her:

This was 4 days later taking delivery of her. I had the dealership put my bars, install new mirrors and change the head unit to the 6.5 BOOM unit with navigation. I also had them install the Daymaker headlight.

This is as of two weeks ago. I started adding black covers got some hardware that I am not wholly a fan of since I'm not going with the Harley brand shifter linkage, foot boards and pedals.

This brings to where she sits now. All remaining chrome off and sent to powder coating. I will also be installing V&H power duals. Also ordered some new rider and passenger foot boards and hardware. Those pictures will be posted up when I get them.

Thank you very much Texas!
It's he the harbor freight lift. Here is the link:
https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-l...ift-69904.html
I did some tweaking to this lift though. I didn't install the front chock nor did I install the wheel 'vice'. I had the Harbor Freight wheel chock from a while back that I decided to bolt onto the lift to give me added stability and peace of mind.
Here is the link to the chock:

Also I decided that adding traction tape to the ramp was just plain smart. I did not want to worry about a wet tire or a wet ramp to cause my rear end to slip out from under me. Also added traction tape to the jack pedal.
