Where did you order a front fender that was backordered for over two months? I would be cancelling that order and buying it somewhere else. You can buy the fenders already smooth from places like KCint for 69 bucks and they have them in stock.

Dealership. Sort of trying to make them happy with a few buys...they went out of their way on a few things this year that could of got charged....ie living out of town and free pick up and deliveries. But my uncle is good buds with the owner...sort of goes hand in hand.

Ya I know 2 months is a lil ridiculous....if it was spring I would of aftermarket for sure. I got lots to do in the meantime.

Btw man.....black out those tails!!! Awesome look bud. Other stuff to chrome accent

Those bars look nice. Without me starting a new thread for it, who can show me some pictures of beach bars and ape hangers on a Lo. I have a vivid black lo, and just cannot decide which ones will go this winter... I dont want to go real tall with the apes, would like to keep my hands below my shoulders, so nothing taller than 14" for sure, probably around 12"... but I really like the look of beach bars on most bikes... anyone have some lo pictures?

Jim has beach bars bud...awesome looking bike and inspiration for the Lo's. One of the reasons why I picked the freeways to get get the reach back and go into chill mode...plus still keep in cruiser style.

Jim...I dig the bag, but is there something that's rigid for that? Not a fan of floppy leather.

Yea there is, someone here on the forum that came up with a riged mount backing for the swingarm bag and they looked nice. I on the other hand didn't want ridid, I was actually after the soft (floppy) look.
