Suggestions on next mod
Just got the lepera solo on there today. Already have the V+H short shots, pcIII, stage one screaming eagle A/C kit. I am thinking about some apes. Not exactly sure what ones yet. Thought about Nash Gimps in 16". Any suggestions?

Nice looking bike. A couple of suggestions.
-Black rear axle covers.
-Powdercoat your tappet blocks and pushrod tubes wrinkle black.
-Consider a coil & horn relocation.
-Consider a 2" tank lift.
-Go with a wider front wheel with a 120-tire. Consider a black rim with black spokes and hub.
Bars are a personal thing. I hate apes. I don't like the way they look or feel. Chaz will come on here and tell you they're the best thing since sliced bread. It's up to you. I really like the T-bars, even though everyone and their mother has them.

Cweiss....
You asking for suggestions? Heres my .02 centavoes fer ya. I will inject my silly brand of Chazmanian humor...Nothing personal as I not only love your bike? I love you too Brother.
Here goes...I thought up only low priced easy stuff that will have big impact and cost you next to nothingness.
#1. Lower the *** end. Its in Motocross mode and looks ready to jump Buses and fountains at Ceasers palace! If you were doing a buncha riding with yer' old lady you wouldnt have a solo seat now would ya? Get with the programming Cwiess!!
#2. Lower the front as well. It spindly and too tall!
#3. Toss the John Holmes edition uber risers and put some apes on the biotch...She will thank you in the morning and you will with a newfound upright authority.
#4. Lots of pegs going on Bro...Like enough for 3 riders? I love me lots of pegs too...Just not on my night train! Toss the bonus cruiser man pegs and buy a set of 3" extensions instead. Clean it up down there mang...And give the guy with the electro-glider back all his hwy man peggage you stole from him!
#5. Whats with the big *** mirrors? You fix your hair in those things? Toss em. They are too big for a Train. Never look back...You have gobs of Tork and mega Horsepowers. Use then and stay in the lead!!
#6. Can we get a bib on that bald *** rear fender? Wrap that rascal brother and protect it from harm whilst looking cooler than ice whilst yer' at it!!
#7. Is any aftermarket air filration out of the picture? Man your bike screams for Eagle...Screaming Eagle heavy breather + Night Train = Pure gold!! Plus you can break the sound barrier with all the newfound ballastic power increases?
#8.Is a custom derby cover or timing cover out of the question? Something besides the stocker? POW theme maybe? Something to spice up the cases?
#9. Stock grips? Is a set of something aftermarket a possibility? Maybe something to match your pegs??
#10. Your big red bozo nose influenced stock tail light lens...Tri-Bar? Smoked maybe? Anything but the "Bozo Stocker Edition"?
OK thats my ten. I tried to inject humor....If it wasnt funny you owe me a slamming next time you get a chance...But like I said I do love you and your bike Brother!!

Ahh but those pegs feel so nice to stretch out on going down the road. LOL!!! I needed a temp fix for long trips and I have grown to love those things!!! Also have thought about a Kuryakn hypercharger in black. Not sure on that yet. I am focused on doing bars next I do believe!

You know I think your bike is badass man, don't sweat it.
CWeiss- Seriously look at doing the 3" Ness extensions (or a complete forward control) and losing the extra set of pegs. You can get Progressive lowering shocks for the rear for less that $400. Do the lowering springs up front with some Ricor Intiminators, and your backside will thank you.
Definitely do something with the football air cleaner.
Mirrors, grips, levers, pegs, shifter, and brake......easy stuff.
Fix the taillight/license plate holder. You can do a Tri-Bar, do it.
You've got a great color combination and you can black out as much as you want without getting ridiculously black like my bike is.

IMO I would lower the b*tch..... too much air between that rear tire and fender!
Then think about bars... short risers and tall bars!!!

I see that you already have the S/E intake, I ran the football cover on mine for quite a while, I kinda like the look.
Recently took it off and just put on a flat cover that I got from J&P.
Anyway, sounds like your set on bars, go for it.
I rode mine with those crappy stock drag bars for almost 2 years.
Wish I would have done the bar swap about 23 months ago.
Lots of options out there, mine are Carlini and I bought a set that was discounted $100 due to the powder coat not being perfect.
I have had them on for a few months now and can't even tell they were discounted.
BTW, nice pipes.
O' yeah, drop that rear end..........
