Default Softail Slim Build

So I bought my first slim last August and 3 weeks later I ended up hitting a deer head on. The insurance company totaled it out so I went out and bought a new one lol. I picked it up in October and started building it immediately. Within 5 hours of getting it back to the house I had her sitting on the frame and ready to start modding. Today I finally finished her and I am completely happy with how everything turned out. It was a long winter worth of working, busted knuckles and frustrating times, but in my opinion it was all worth it. Pics will be in order from the day I got her to today. Mods are below,

Blacked Out Motor
Arlen Ness Stage 1 Big Sucker
Vance & Hines Big Shots Staggered
Vance & Hines Fuel Pak
White Wall Tires
Black Spoke Wraps
2014 HD Breakout Handlebars
2014 HD Fatboy Risers and Clamps
2014 Breakout Forward Controls
Nostalgic Grips
HD Black Levers
HD Black Short Stem Mirrors
Bowtiemans Sissy Bar
Alloy Art Flush Front Turn Signals
Alloy Art Flush Mount Passenger Pegs
Smoked and Shortened Rear Turn Signals
Softail Custom Stainless Steel Rear Splash Guard
Blacked Out Front Forks
Dead Creeks 1.5" Lowering Kit
HD Flush Mount Fuel Caps
HD Oil Temp Gauge
HD Street Stalker Front Fender
Belt Guards Removed
Completely Debadged
