Just got it back this afternoon. Here's a few quick pics until I can get it fully detailed. Also, I have to get the black pulley installed in right size too. I ordered a 1-1/2" pulley and it's supposed to be 1-1/8". So sent that back today and will hopefully have the right one by the time I get back from Sturgis.
Items still under consideration:
1: Fishtails (I like the V&H staggered exhaust on it and I have 2 other bikes with fishtails but... it's screaming for them!).
2: Carlini 14"-16" Gangster Apes (this is a for sure sometime this Fall or over the Winter).
3: some minor powder coating on the instrument console and trim piece (powder coat the outside top edges around speedo down through outside edges of trim piece and leave center (from name plate down through center of trim piece) chrome.
4: Progressive Monotube gas shocks w/1" drop up front (I have this in the other two bikes but I may just put some drop springs in and thicker fork oil and call it a day).

Reason: added more txt
Looks good man!!! Are you going to change out the grips and boards?
Thanks! I wasn't planning on changing those but the diamond plate collection is kinda dated, however, it is an old bike... Dunno, probably not right away but I may explore options over the winter.

I think your going to need to go with the half moon boards, always something brother!!! Lol.
Yeah, not 100% sold on changing the boards and grips... yet...
Fishtails either. The V&H exhaust has always performed well on the bike and it sounds awesome and still looks good for almost 14 years old.
The Apes are getting done for sure as since I have those bars on my other two rides, I know how comfy they are and the wider bar will also provide some aesthetic quality as well.
