Default Some new mods

Im new to HDForums but have been riding for years. I finally got around to hooking up the rear end the way Ive wanted to for a while.

I just installed Harley davidson Vivid Black rotors and the Harley Tri Bar LED tail light with Alloy Art turn signals and a black/lighted side mount license plate. The pic really doesnt do it justice but I just thought I would share.

Here are some before and after pics.
