Default Couple small mods (pics)

Nothing special but what the hell. Got the "decorative medallion" for the Heavy Breather. I wanted to add a little more chrome to it because it didn't look right to me with the big chrome ProPipe. I like the way it looks now.

These are the $2 chrome bolts I used to plug up the holes for the passenger footpegs.

Detail counts, it may be small. But when everything on your bike is neat and matches it adds up. I see ten or fifteen bikes a week at the local Harly shop and hardly anyone gets down to details. If you want an eye popper bike that people remember keep up the small details.

Yeah, and it felt real manly asking for a "decorative medallion". I think I noticed about 20 more lbs of torque too.

Chrome bolt in the peg hole looks good. Is that the 02 sensor conn. by the tranny fill plug you got all loose and floppin' in the breeze instead of all tucked away (nice,nice) like it should be?
