Default First mods w/ pics....

Not really sure if this is where these should be,but it is a Softail,so why not.Had a full 3 days to devote to the scoot,been wanting to get some stuff done on her,so here you go.
First was the turn sig/horn relocate.Took 'em off the bars and mounted them on the front downtubes.Re-routed the clutch cable as well,just to clean it up.



Next up was the coil relocate,as well as removing the seat post,which I cut up for my relo bracket.Did some custom powder work,as well as new coil wires.Also carbon fiber(sticker)wrapped my shift rod.Swapped out the ugly-*** strut bolts for stainless.


Last up,made some shorter stalks for the rear sigs to clean up the rear end.


Also made some 2" tank lift brackets and powdered 'em,but I'm unsure if I want to do it yet,until I get my apes on.

Lemmeno what you think.

Nice work man. I don't know about the front turn signals on the the down tubes. I'd that really a good place to put them?

Seems like they won't be very visible as the front forks will block the view.

Actually from straight out front,they're pretty visible.I saw where a guy on here had them mounted at the bottom of the downtubes,the forks blocked them there as the tubes flared out.These are actually more visible up high.

The paint job was one of the main reasons I bought this one.Haven't seen one like that yet.Plus it was already lowered,which was the direction I wanted to take it anyway.

I also like the paint. For front signal lights, how about smaller ones below the headlight on the inside of the forks?
