The only thing I like is that you moved the horn . And that 2 into 1 pipe looks like it should be on a old school pan head chopper . I'm just not liking it at all sorry .

No need to be sorry man, if we all liked the same style Harley's parts catalogue would be a lot thinner.

Your making me spend more money on mine now. Sweet ride! What gets done to the engine to make it a 117 and how much difference did you notice from the stock 110? Did you also change the wheels or is there an overseas version which comes standard with these? Have been thinking about going with the edge cut controls as well.

The wheels are Roland Sands diesels, the 117 comes as a kit from Harley you get barrels, Pistons, cams, and a throttle body oh and a big bill ! lol.
I had the 117 kit fitted from new but I traded my 103 for the 117S and the 117 has more power right through the Rev range, IMHO it goes like f--- .

Did you install the Street Slammer bars yourself? If so, how long did it take? I decided to put a set on my Fatty S, but don't want to pay the dealer since they claim it will need cables as well as the labor time.
