great looking bike . i think you really nailed the "1947 , let's chop 60 pounds of junk we don't need off this bike and go racing" look
the one thing it still needs is to have the back end lowered . that would make it perfect !

I really like the heat wrap, it helps give it that vibe.
I got the taillight from Dream Weavers Custom Taillights, they have a website or you can get them on ebay. As for the wiring I still haven't hooked up the rear lights yet. I may have someone do it for me since I don't know **** about electrical wiring. Last thing I want to do is short something out.

Thanks, that's what I was basically going for, I wanted to keep a simple ol skool vide to it. I have the parts to lower the rear end already, just need the time to do it, probably won't be able to get it done until the end of April.

Yeah I think you nailed it. Exactly the look I was going for. One thing I love about the bones, you can either throw on some old springer classic style fenders, or chopped rear and bike looks awesome.

Lowering kit?
What is the difference between H-D lowering kit and aftermarket (i.e. Progressive)?
I want to keep my rear fender stock but would like to lower it. I'm not interested in air ride suspensions just a simple lowering kit. Would you be able to tell when you look at it or when you sit on it?
Is the H-D one good or should I go with aftermarket???

I used an aftermarket set up by Burn Out Cycles. The adjusting bolts just screw right on to the stock shocks. It wasn't easy though, it took almost 5 hours due to not having the right tools and having to customize a few wrenchs with a saw and grinder. Plus the shocks don't just slide right out or back in for that matter, that was a MF'r on it's own.
