Its great to see before and after, its like the evolution of how you see your "Personal" style.

 

nice work

you mention that that is it for this season, what do you have in mind for next winter?
lol

 

My '02 FXST was hands-down my favorite Harley. I think they are classic and I'm sure disappointed they stopped making them. And I'm in the minority, but I love the gray motor -- looks like the old ones. Add some chrome, polished aluminum and a black primary cover and you are in the old days...

 

Howdy folks...

I've had a chance to put a few miles on her and I REALLY like the way it turned out. Although I do have a couple issues you my be able to help with...

First, the 14" (15.5" actual height) Carlini Fly'in Apes may be a bit too tall. I love the way they look and they are quite comfortable. However, after 45 minutes or so, my hands start to get kind of "cold" and tingley. My guess is that it's due to my hands being higher than my shoulders. Is this common for high bars or is my circulation just not up to snuff anymore?

Second, the V&H pipes. I've pulled the stock baffles and replaced them with the BCT units. They sound AMAZING!! And my mid-range power seems to be a bit stronger. My concern here is that they seem "not quite right" in the styling department. I love the look of the pipes, but I'm not convinced they "go" with the build. I've been thinking that maybe a more "classic" staggered dual look, such as the V&H Straightshots may be a better choice. Or possibly a set of stock head pipes and some good sounding slip ons. What do you think?

I'm all about style with this build. Better performance is a bonus, but not a requirement. I want a stylish "pet rock" cruiser.



Thanks again for all the kind words!!

 

My plans change on a daily basis!! LOL!! So it's tough to say what's in store for this one.... Maybe a "freshening up" of the engine? Air ride perhaps? New front end? Who's to say at this point.

OR... This lil' lady may have a stable mate. Been thinking "bagger" lately.

 

Just my 2 cents on the exhaust . It looks good but I think a set of true duals with a set of fish tails would look killer

Great Job. Clean lines. An inspiration.
Thanks for sharing.... Hey send more pics and more info.

 

Just when you think you’re done or at least done with mods for this year, you get rear-ended like me last week. Now I get to re-think the entire rear end all over again. Argh I’ll never be done.

 

Nice job!

 

you are NEVER done! LOL
