Default Halo lights and smoked signal lenses




Ordered from Amazon. Got here quickly. No problems with install. I plan to post a write up about the halo lights in another thread.

Added a set of Road King Classic leather bags to my Lo.

All of the Softail bags are way too small to trip with and I hate having gear strapped all over the place. It was find a solution or buy a Street Glide.

Love what you've done with it. The screen and bars. Seat and sissy bar, All fit perfectly in line and match really well.
Looks like you put a lot of thought into it.
Nice work!
