Cool, now us Custom lovers have our own private "pig pen".

When I first saw it in the dealer, and fell instantly in lust. Got the wife a little jealous, but she did let me have the money for it.

When It got to my house, the wife is now a Harley widdow. Unless she instists on riding with me, but that's OK I like her too.

Just added the V&H Big Radius and Ness Big Sucker to go along with all the other "trinkets". Got some 501's, chrome controls, ISO grips, chrome switch housings, braided cables, solo seat, lowering kit, etc, planned for this winter.....Bike rides very nice, and no issues at all w/ 1,200 miles and ticking!

Skips69,
Love the pipes, but how did you get the ugly amber reflectors off the front fork tubes?

These are the chrome lowers, and didn't come with the reflectors already installed originally, and I just never put them on myself, afterwards. But, to get the reflectors off is pretty straight forward. Just pull them off, and clean up remaining residue w/ mineral spirits, WD-40, Goo-Gone, etc. Some guys like to heat them up first w/ a hair gun, then work them off by sawing with small test fishing line.

Well that explains it. They "look" like the regular sliders in the picture, just a bad angle I suppose.
I'll just have to do the heat, saw and "de-gooing" trick. I put a Kuryakyn fork brace on already so chrome covers are out, and if I have to choose between the two, I would rather keep the brace.
Thanks
