Progressive 2" drop in front
Burly 14" black hangers
Heritage risers
Lots of powder coating ( sick of chrome, goin dark )
PCin Wheels / Struts / etc.
Get stainless spokes to re-lace my front with
Buy night train engine components in wrinkle black
Black Big sucker
Paint lower fork tubes
Long Boy front fender and paint.
New mirrors

Theres no way I can get this all done over winter. Especially since my "winter" lasts about a week, so a lot of this will be done here and there.

Hmmm... Not too much planned... Just a few engine upgrades, wide **** end kit, lowering, paint, powdercoating, wheels and tires, brake upgrades, bars, cables, controls... With a little chrome thrown in just for fun...

Nope... Nothing major happening here...
