Default Questions about Customizing my Softail

I bought a 92 Softail last summer and was looking for some advise on customizing. It already has lots of chrome. I was thinking about losing the boards for foreward pegs and controls or just adding a mustache bar. Does anyone have sugestions and or pictures.

Your going to get ton's of suggestions most likely. But the most often thing your likely to hear is to set it up to feel and look like YOU want it to. Look at it long enough, and look at other bikes often enough, and you'll find a direction you want to go with it. It's only money. Most importantly......ride safe my friend.

Maybe a new saddle mustang or lepera depending on what direction you want to go. I cannot see your exhaust that's always a favorite.there are so many things you can spend it on. check out the pics on the forum and you will be spending more than you had in mind

I would also really like to see some mustache bars too. You guys must be slipping, usually when I guy asks for pictures of something you guys are all over that.

Looking at the pic of your bike, I think it looks great as is. With that said, to me, one of the biggest things that really make a bike look more "custom" is wheels. It's an expensive custom item but they really personalize the bike....good luck.

Yeah, I try to keep up with you softail guys now. I was trying to keep up with the Dyna guys but I ran out of black spray can primer and exhaust wrap.
