Default New Softail coming along - updated pics

Rode this home three weeks ago, taking some time to make it into just what suits me. Vance & Hines slip-ons sound really good. Mounted footpeg extenders vertically to move the pegs down and forward an inch - along with the 3 inch forward extensions. Spend a lot of time filing the male mounts to basically fit them upside-down, but they came out good. Slotted pegs made a good match to the mirrors, and the Diamond Black grips fit in too. AC with round cover goes on tomorrow.

Update - added the Kuryakyn High Five air cleaner kit today. Tomorrow I'll put in the PCV. Uploaded a pic that shows the forward controls better. Thanks to all for the nice comments.

Even with my peg extensions, I still think mine would be more comfortable a little further out.
Good idea you have there

With that big comfy seat, windscreen and those bars that bike looks ready to spend some time out on the road this summer.

Looking good!

It doesnt look like the forward controls have been moved at all in the photos.

It is hard to tell from some pictures. I had the 3 inch HD extensions added before I took it home. I'm 6'5" so needed the stretch - could actually use more. New pic shows it a little better.
