Default Intro

Hello, just joined this group. Hoping to gain lots of knowledge and insight. I have a 2016 olive gold Sportster 48. It has had a bit of personalization done to it. It was a local dealer build, but I fell in love with it and have since added my own touches. My goal/theme is retro 40's with a modern nod. It currently has 24oo miles on it. Yes, I am a fair weather rider, lol. Here are my mods so far:

Drag bar
Lowered Headlight
Relocated and blacked out signals
Wrapped Bassani Radial Sweepers
K&N Filter with bobber style air cover
Stage 1 tune (FP3)
Avon Safety Vintage tires
Saddleman seat (brown)
Vintage brown leather saddle bags
2" tank lift
Ignition relocation kit
Vintage cloth covered spark plug wires

Upcoming mods: Lead sled foot boards, Black rocker covers, bobbed front and rear fenders, and Von Dutch style pinstriped air cleaner cover and derby cover.

Welcome to the madness! awesome looking bike you've got there. Add ditching the safety reflectors to your list.

Welcome!

Big fan of that Olive color...also agree with other comment about ditching the reflectors.

Great looking bike so far!

Thanks all! Yes, there I plenty I want to do with the bike. I guess, I never thought about something as simple as the reflectors.
