RE: What was your first modification?
The first thing I added was a bobtail fender rack, then a leather tank panel then on to the inspection cover, handle bar clamp and then finally slip-ons and Bis Sucker.

RE: What was your first modification?
The first mod to my Vivid Black '05 Night Train was the removal of the huge, ugly, crooked metal gas tank emblems. This mod saved me a couple of thousand dollars in custom paint. I got Vivid Black because it was free and I had intended to have a custom paint job done, but when I removed those heinous emblems and stood back for a look, I was stunned that such a seemingly small thing could make such a huge difference. When I sent pics of the bike to a non-Harley biker friend, he thought it was a full custom bike. If this "mod" had cost money, it would have been well worth it. As it turned out, it ended up paying for custom wheels and a blacked-out front end. Cool!
