Default WINTERTIME BLUES PART 2

Well, the snow is here. There is about 7 inches on the ground and we are supposed to get snow for the next four days almost non-stop. However, I started modifying today. The first thing I did was winterizing and installed wiring for the battery tender and set that up ( not much of a mod I know, but you have to start somewhere). Then I put on the huge headlight trim ring and it looks awesome. Itmakes the FATBOY front end look even fatter. Will have pics as I get more accomplished.

I honestly feel bad for you guys. It was 87 here today. My bike is covered up in the garage too, but to keep off the dust.

Is this the trim ring (visor) your talking about.
I think it helps the front end a lot.

In the upper 40's here, but rain, rain, rain. Our State was actually the lead story on evening news tonight. Flooding like crazy. Snowed a few inches last week too. Looks like some sun breaks later on in the week. Maybe I can put a few miles on. Since I have no project planned (saving up for stage 1 in about 3 months), all I can do is polish, stare, and start her up once in awhile. Nice having a heated garage.

Cold and snowy here. I've got a chubby handle bar and new seat on order. I hope they get here by the weekend to give me a project.
