Default First Mod Ever!!! (on a Harley)

Well fellas,
I got this used 2008 Rocker C with 1040 miles on it. Went back to Ohio and got my motorcycle endorsement again. Got back from being in the States 2 weeks and today was beautiful, semi warm and sunny. So, I thought I'd put my Danny Gray on my bike. I also took the foot pegs off. The bolts came off easily with the 3/8 tork wrench and 45 bit. I also took off the back foot pegs.

Next, I need a set of RSD Vintage 12 inch bars and risers (1 to 4 inches), billet knurled Arlen Ross grips and pegs, and to remove the stickers the original owner put on the bike.

Going on EBAY to find some now. Don't know how to insert pics. I'm a little slow.

The passenger pegs were removed since I put a solo Danny Gray on. I think it looked stupid with them on and no rear seat. I am replacing the front pegs eventually though.

I removed my passenger pegs when I installed my DG seat also.
I replaced the mounting bolts that came with the seat with polished stainless and used polished stainless bolts in the peg mounting holes.
