Default Getting ready for riding

Did some work over the last few days. Added Uniq cycle sounds, toolbox hid the amp in it. and added the trim stancions and rails to the rear fender.
The rear fender is a modded fatboy 9
' so the standard rear rail from hd wouldn't work so I moddified a set intended for the top of the front fender and mounted them to the side of the rear. I think it came out nice. Can't wait for riding weather.

Looking nice man!! I see you got that springer seat rail I sold you years ago! Looks good on there. Riding weather well can't help you as we ride all year long..lol. BUT nothing like the Midwest (those ladies from the windy city are something special!), my grandmother is buried in Arlington need to get up there this year...Nothing like an old style and a Chicago dog!
