The pinstripe work was done by a gentleman named "Brody". He happend to be at Destination Daytona Harley Davidson just before Biketoberfest this past October when I purchased the bike. Not a cheap mod, but overall I'm very happy the way it looks.

It's getting ready to rain, so I just pulled the cover back to take this pix.

Just pulled back the Handlebars as far as they would go and now I'm much more comfortable. With the handlebars in their original position my arms were stretched to to straignt arms and it forced me to using the levers with my fingertips. Now no problem. Arms are bent and can use my whole hand to work the levers. Next step is the HD front and rear lowering packages to get that extra inch I need to be able to Flat foot with both feet. It's hell to be vertically chalanged .

Could you elaborate a little. I'm considering a set of "???", but not sure if I should.

Have you had the chance to test it out yet????

Very Nice. I also like the lettering on the back fender. Very cool.
