'05 Deuce/FXSTD, owned since new. Some background; Ness bars, Baker 6 speed, 98" motor makes 115/115, Pingle shifter, Bassani Pro Streets, Mustang seat, front suspension upgrades and Avon Storm 160/70 rear tire. Thinking about changing the appearance of the bike and looking for suggestions. Some things I have thought about are changing bars, maybe a set of mini apes; 19" front wheel to replace the 21" (not sure what wheel); floor boards in lieu of forward controls and that's where I got stuck. I have attached a couple of pics of the bike before the 98" build so exhaust and air filter are different; Bassani Pro Streets and SE Heavy breather now. I don't run the bar mounted tool bag now; single saddle bag on left side of bike. I don't run the back rest unless headed long extended ride like from San Antonio to Denver. All suggestions welcome; can't hurt my feelings.
Good looking scoot. OK drop the Bag on the bars, Bag on the dash, the back rest and above all the single saddle Bag. But that would of course be my style and not yours. I'm sure you could pick apart my bike also.
