finally down upgrading my NT (for now)
POST SHOULD READ: finally DONE upgrading my NT ..
ok..its been almost a year ago (six days short now)since I purchased my 2007 Softail NT after coming back from Iraq. My final upgrades (at least for now), I installed this past weekend. Im very picky person and waited as long as I could and best deal for pipes/power commander/air intake. After purchasing the last 3 in the past 3 weeks, my buddy and I installed it all, in a short period, and for nothing.
here is the mods to date in order!
- HD Wrinkle Black Detachable Back Rest/Sissy Bar
- Chromed the fender screws
- Willie G front and rear passenger pegs
- Willie G Timer Cover
- Willie G Gas Cap Cover
- Diamond Black Brake Pedal
- Arlen Ness 3" Ext. Forward Control Kit (HD installed, i lost brakes on the way home, installed junction box backwards and heated up and brake fluid was not getting to rear brakes)
- HammerCustoms Black Impaler Man Grips
- BackOff Brake Module from Signal Dynamics
- Smoked Turn Signals from Custom Dynamics ($7.80 as opposed to $37 HD Kit)
- Smoked Tail Lamp from WaltersWorkshop
- HD Sundowner Deep Bucket Seat
- Arlen Ness Big Sucker Stage 1 Chrome
- PowerCommander III USB ($270 with map!)
- Vance and Hines ShortShots Staggered (off eBay brand new for $175)
I think I am pretty happy right now, and would love to do tons of other things but the never ending money pit bike is now holding still unless a super deal comes along. Now I need a new car..
Just giving a thanks to everyone on here, i promote the hell out of the site since finding out about it, and has giving me so much knowledge and information its been overwhelming how great it is. I know now to search and ask questions on here about anything about my bike. Thank you to everyone!

J, good looking bike. Your headed in the right direction! My bike is an AAFES bike back from Bosnia in 99’. I was in Iraq from Aug 06 thru Oct 07 up at Speicher supporting you guys down in the Diyala river valley and over Baqubah. What a $hithole! Stopped for gas at Warhorse on a daily basis, even spent the night a couple times. Good pancakes! Glad you made it back.
