It's been a short while since I visited this thread. I've just been riding.

Installed Shotguns shocks, took her out for a ride and I'm amazed at how it feels now. Well worth the wait.

Your bike is a thing of beauty. I've always liked the Ness cowbells but they wouldn't work on a Heritage with the lollipop front turn signals.

The same goes for the backdrop in the pictures. A swan can make anything beautiful.

I grew up on Long Island and spent eight years in Ithaca. I drove Rte 17 countless times. Upstate NY on Rte 17 is my favorite part of NY.

Installed the new filter, and the DK 1 inch riser extensions. The stack bars are perfect now. Gonna try and gut the cats and install the TTI's later this week.

Finally found trim for the edge of the windshield. I had Chrome trim on the ''94 Road King I bought new and wanted Black for the Fat Boy Lo I recently bought.

Just added this new 18" sissy bar from Top Hand Ventures (bought on eBay).


Love it. Perfect fit. Excellent old school looks. Professional build quality. This should be OEM equipment for Harley.


It fits between the rear fender struts and the rear fender. Looks like my Softail Slim S came from the factory with it. Easy installation - just removed the 4 fender bolts, slipped the sissy bar between the fender and the struts, and then put the bolts back in. No rewiring of the rear light, no scratches... perfect.


I am not associated with Top Hand Ventures - just a happy customer.


R,
Sanjuro
