Default A few minor mods to my Springer
I've had my bike for almost a couple months now and have enjoyed making it mine. I put on a softbrake taillight housing and relocated the license plate. There's no light for the license plate, so I added two lights that attach to the license plate bracket. I think it looks cleaner this way.


Also, added blacked out mini blinkers and relocated the front turn signals away from the handlebars and to the front of the bike. And added Avon Velvet air grips. I love how these grips feel. Huge improvement over stock!


Here's some pics.

Gorgeous bike man... One of the last great looking Harleys. I'll never let my Springer go. Still can't believe the Moco killed them off.

Does anyone know if this is the stock exhaust? I don't see any model or part numbers printed on the mufflers. When I google pictures of other 2006 Springers, everyone has different exhaust anyway, so hard to know what was stock.


Curious because it seems a little louder/deeper than some of the local Harleys. It has a great sound.
