Default Cruisin' along

Just a little crazy seeing my bike like this. It's going to look a lot different, but I'm not doing new paint or anything. I'm not even chroming the front end yet... I've gotta save up for that one. With plans to go and finish school full-time, working, baby(some day soon), and being a husband I'm going to have to take what I can get with the bike for a while. I'll have this forever though so that's okay. So now that we know the 107 kit, custom paint, and sittin' the fatty on dubs isn't going to happen yet... I'm going to do bars, lower the front end, MAYBE polish out the fork sliders, chrome front hand controls kit, and I already plumbed the oil pressure guage kit up... So that's it. Oh yeah, I'm gonna bolt up that Aux Light Kit. I was just deciding about it last week. It's too damn buttery to not have on there. I'll update along the way, but know that I'm giving myself a lot of time for this stuff lol.

If anyone wants to know anything or wants to let me know anything just PM me. I'll post the stuff up for for everyone if it's tech stuff.

Looks like you have your work cut out for you.
Btw, I like your highway peg setup, what is it?

Since I'm not very mechanically inclined, brain surgery would be on par. Good Luck!

Well you're doing the work yourself and saving a ton of money.
If it makes you feel any better my bike looked like the state yours is in now with only 50 miles on the clock.

Been there, done that. Nothing feels better than tightening the last bolt and pushin it out for the first time. Its an experience that those who don't work on their own bikes will never know.

I changed it to cruisin' along... I just had to get used to seeing my bike that way. I'm doing a lot of preassymbly type stuff. I'm waiting on bars too. Actually, I'm really waiting on a long 6MM Hex. I guess Sears doesn't sell them individually anymore so I have to order one online.... that's sorta lame.
