Default Its all in the details

Well, I just got a package in the mail. Found a sweet custom seat bolt on ebay, its a .45 ACP casing. All my brothers know my 1911 is like my American Express card and I shoot .45 because they don't make .46......lol. I did have the fancy pants HD thumb screw, just because they used it when they swapped out the seat before I bought the bike. I would snap a pic, but my camera is MIA. I am really trying to keep the X-bones from being a HD parts book ***** like my Road King was.....

Dig it

...and I agree...I don't want my bones to look like everything came from HD.

I think the only HD parts I've put on mine are the turn signal lens covers and the nostalgic grips.

only HD parts are the grips and forward controls (pegs included) derby cover, timing cover, and my sissy bar side plates......custom sissy bar, A/C cover is custom engraved, next big one will be BR Customs bars......I have some .500 shels that I am going to trim down and mill out to go on as caps for the riser screws. They fit perfect at the end of the case, but once I cut one down, I didn't realize how thick the walls were right above the rim. They need to be milled out to fit.
