Default Parts galore on order!

Got my tax returns... pretty significant bonus for me Woo Hoo!

Made the rounds of some worthy causes, put some in savings, set some aside for wifey, and got all the misc stuff I've wanted (well not ALL) for the bike.

Got my Walters workshop brake and shifter extensions (a year and a half of waiting), and the springer rail and pad I've drooled over for a while. Followed by new pegs, brake pedal, visor trim all around, regulator cover, fender spear, and misc. chrome. Still need to get a front tire, floating rotor and lyndal pads probably next month. (when the shock on my wife's face goes away)

Anyhow, big deal right? Well... not like I got anyone else that might care. I figure I'll shamelessly throw it out to the 30k people here and torture all of you!

I was actually torn between a sportster or a dinette set...
Got the dinette set

Sounds great, my mods have been getting more and more minor lately. It has been nice to not have to tear down the bike to change something out for a change. The only major thing I have planned is a chrome Front end kit. I just ordered a few little things, chrome fuel valve cover, temp gauge/dipstick, etc.

Have fun with the stuff and post pics.

Hey Rhubarb...I feel your pain, man! Anymore when I start telling my wife about something I've done to my Fat Boy she just gets that 'glassy eye look,' and asks, "Will this take a long time to explain?" I just saunter off and go post it here! I know you guys care!

BTW...I got the dinette set as well!

Later...

Steve
