Latest mod pics....
So we were slow at work so I took the day off and did some work to the bike that I have been trying to find time for. I shaved the tail light / license plate bracket since I made my own axle mount bracket, lowered the rear suspension, stripped the belt guards, relocated the rear turn signals, installed the detachable hardware and crossbones sissy bar ($15 swap meet find), and installed the Heavy Breather intake. I'm really liking the improvements. The only uncertainty I have is with the intake. It doesn't rub my leg, but it definitely touches it. I'll have to give it a while to decide if I really like it or not. It looks like a totally different bike. I still need the pad for the bar, but all in all I like the progress. What next....?

Im diggn it!
I just got one of those x bones sissy bars, not even close to cheap as you got yours, Did you have to get the signal relocation kit to make it work?

The tire probably looks that way because I took a couple of trips around the block (clockwise) this evening after I made the mods. COLD! As for the signal relocation, I don't think the sissy bar would have attached without doing it, but I don't like the Harley brand relocation kit. To me it looks cheesy with the straight bolt setup. There was a post on here a while back where someone moved their stock signals and mounting posts back and got the detachable stuff to work fine and maintained the factory posts. I might switch to that for looks, or better yet install the alloy art strut mount ones and call it good. I'm still undecided.

I am with you on the HD relocation kit (cheezola). But for the same money I found the Kuryakyn kit that looks like it would be pretty okay looking.
The thing I like is I don't have to modify anything and can put it all back if I need to.
