Default Cheap accessories

I know this may rub the wrong way the chauvinisti... I meant, patriotic spirits; but If you are not that good at fabricating stuff, this site may be a good thing: Aliexpress.com you will find amazing things, cheap. Rule 34 anyone?

Installed on my 2008 Fatboy. Kuryakyn Crusher Powercell Staggered Duals closeout price, high flow air filter,and Vance & Hines Fuelpak. Bike runs good and did not sink a ton of money into it. Do not need it to go super fast I have a sport bike for that.

Default Seat back rest



I know this is not much of a MOD but I added a rider seat backrest to my 2015 Street Glide. I did so because I added new 14" apes and now they are way too high for me but the new backrest allows me to kep the new apes.

Default Air Filter Insert

So I was toying around with some different options for my air cleaner cover and I came across a pretty cool idea to just remove the cover and use a CD as an insert. Being a big Van Halen fan, I decided to search for the appropriate design to compliment my '06 Deluxe. Cost was about $.05.

I painted the nut black to match the design.

Default Rocker C Coil Cover

Hello, I bought a Kurakyn Horn Cover for 65.00 dollars and modified it to fit over the ugly coil on my Rocker. Also painted the mounting bracket the color of the bike. Looks great.

That's one of the best looking covers I've seen. Still, I'm surprised somewhat that nearly nobody just removes the cowbell and polishes the horn, especially blackout bikes.
I have two of them on an aluminum bracket - loud, fer sure. (one is a $19 Wolo electric).
