Looking good dude. I especially like the exhaust and the dash panel.... Hey I got one of these emblem things to cover up the three holes from where the licence plate was. I bought it from Dennis Kirk 's online web site. Was only cheap, does the job, looks better than 3 bolts and comes in a variety of designs... I think it is Drag Specialties brand....

Hey all. I just thought I'd finally post some pics of what I've done to my ride. Well, not ALL me. My wife did help mount up the pipes. The most involved thing so far was the chrome rear caliper mounting bracket that you all can't even see that well in these pics. [8D] I was "pin challenged" too with the connectors, but I've got that down now. I'm a little undecided on bars still. I have the H-D chrome hand controls kit and progressive lowering kit to put on as well. It's cold enough to get going on that stuff now I suppose.

Wonderful! You got a very nice fatty there! Of course I love the pipes, and I really like the dash too.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Bike looks great, how do you like the pop up gas cap? What kind of seat did you put on and is it comfortable?

Thank you all for the kind words.

The fuel filler port on the right side pops up by pushing down a little and rotating the cap clockwise. This releases the cap and it pops up. Then you just twist off counter clockwise like any other cap.





The seat is a Danny Gray Weekday 2-up. This seat is IMO great in every way, but there are A LOT of other great options out there. I like C&C seats a lot and I've heard nothing but good about http://www.meancitycycles.com/ .
