Sgt Jim you need one of those scabbards like they put on the WLA's back in WWII. I think they put the throttle on the left side so you could shoot while riding. Of course if you really want firepower mount a sidecar and rig up a 240.

Default white walls idea

Hey Guys,
Hope You all had a safe and fun new year and holiday period!

Someone mentioned earlier a white lo with white-walls...
I have been toying with the idea of a white strip white-wall on my denim lo

Just wondering if anyone has done this and what you all think of how it looks?

I photoshopped it the other day.. and i dont think it looks to bad

Its taken me 3 days of almost constant reading, but I finally read all post for start to here, unfortunately my wallet will now take a nose dive as I start building on my 11 Lo, I really like the street glide bags lawley has on his bike, I am definitely stealing that idea, along with tons of others, I am looking for a set of Vance and hines black 2-1 pipes if anyone has a set to part with, and wonder if they'll fit with the street glide bags on it, I see that lawley had a set of straight shots and went to true duals.

The whitewals would look great on a white Lo. Problem on a black that they do not tie into the rest of the bike. To make it work, it would need something like Lepera seats with white in it.

But I dig the concept but not to sure on the black Lo though.

As someone mentioned before the rear would need to be custom made for the fatty.
