Looks good. I like the paint scheme much better.

I agree it looks great, and the HD badge doesn't stand out.
I really do like the blue flames, thinking of doing blue realistic flames on my night train.
Did you have to do anything to the crossover hose when you did the 1.5" tank lift ?
got a link to article for lowering handy ?

I dont own a softail so I am not one to talk. But is there a way to keep the rear shock travel and maybe go to a differant fender to hide that tire and space. The bike looks great, just as everybody has stated... something about that rear end.

Yes, I replaced it with a longer steel braided line (something I wanted to do with the tank off anyway). Also replaced the fuel line from the fuel valve to the carb.

One thing on the tank lift -- the vent line did not reach and I had to extend it. The wire harness did reach with room to spare.

Looks much better with the new paint. Like others have mentioned, slam that thing, you'll be wondering why it took you so long to do it...
