There's a few things I was going to get powdercoated gold but I've been busy.

I 'm tweaking the front suspension right now to level it more.

I should have more pics when I get everything back together in a few days.

Awesome, looking forward to seeing more pics and following your updates - please keep us posted.

Thanks! Fatboy headlight with the trim ring on it. It's the Heartbreaker fender which is the middle one.

Thank you! They were a great price for the package. Especially for being some one-off wheels. Hit up Greg at www.primoforged.com for pricing

Thanks and yes, semi-gloss black. There's a few blemishes on the finish so I might end up having it painted again.

Thanks man. I wanted to go for the Bad Dad front fender but I realized it wasn't metal. The no-fender look grew on me so it's staying off until I figure out what to do.

Hey, it will look good. I would probably go with 2" under tubes or a lowering kit because the 23" will raise your front a few inches.

I probably missed a few things. A lot more to come. But for now I'm going to enjoy the rides while the weather is still decent. Have a lot of goodies for my winter project
