Default Updated Pics of Softtail

Just thought I would share an updated pic of my ride. I added the exhaust and backrest a while ago but finally took some pics.

Steve,
The bike looks nice. What type of exhaust is that? The things you can do with the standard are endless, have fun.

It's the new Vance & Hines Shortshot staggereds. Sound is incredible. My friends wife made the comment that they were obnoxious.

Reno,
I was wondering if the chrome hand grips are comfortable, or do they get slippery after awhile.
Thanks.

A friend of mine has the same pipes on his Springer, and I can't ride behind, or next to him. Told him to stay behind me, or WAY in front of me. They are VERY loud. Nice sound, just they make my ears ring after 2 minutes next to him.

Lookin good I would suggest moving the front blinkers down onto the forks, its a cheap mod and you will love the look when you get done. I didnt think it would make that much of a difference until I did mine and WoW it cleans up the bars and makes a sleek looking front end. I think you can get away with under $100.

I like the backrest, is it detachable? I bought the detachable one, so nice to change the look of the scoot!

Thanks everyone. I have a few little things planned with it still but for the most part I am finished. Some new wheels after the holidays and others.

George C...the grips are actually nice. They have that rubber strips and my hands don't slip at all.

Unibomber...I already have relocating the lights in mind.

imboden...You are correct it is removable. This way when the girl isn't riding, I can take it off.
