Have since removed the air cleaner for the new Performance Machine one, I like it's look a lot, sorry no pic with it. Enjoy the backrest of my seat but it's a corbin and it is not the best, go with the Ultimate baby! Still saving for one of those beasts!

That's some wicked looking exhaust you got on your bike. What kind of pipes are those?

Here are a couple pics of mine. It is a 2004 Fatboy. I wanted a complete custom. Softails are the most customizable bikes. It just depends on how much you want to put into it. The only thing stock on mine is the engine and the gas tank. The fenders are from clockwerks with some additional fabrication done. I also had it slammed and I have no issue with cornering or handling what so ever. There are too many mods on here to list so if you have any questions about any of them just PM me and I will let you know. Good luck, have fun, and be safe.

Yip, sit in front of it for about 4-6 hours a night with a full fridge and make it what you want.

my opinion might be different than yours but
heres the cheap stuff

lose the fender mounted plate
mini apes
dump the front signals and mirrors and relocate
drop the rear 2"
Swap the red plug wires for black

Thats where i would start
Make it yours though, not mine

Ross, they are Martin Brothers. I wanted a classic look to go with the classic old red and black paint, but fell in love with these pipes. They are side by side, not over under, and even though pretty gnarly, i think they are not as retro us the usual Arlen Ness pipes bent and slashed at tips. Thanks man.

Do whatever you like, it is all about taste. I think half naked girls improve any bike.

Got one, but she's too scared to hop on the back.
