Smile New Mods

Finally got all the stuff on this past weekend and got around to taking some pictures. The Samson non-baffled true dual pipes were fairly easy to install (about 6 hrs even after doing the left side twice due to crap instructions) and the Zippers A/C and PCV took about an hour together. It runs about the same as it did with the stock A/C and slipons, but it sounds and looks about 100x better (loud and low rumble) IMO. Tell me what you think. It's a pretty standard setup, but I love the classic look.

Sled looks great bro. I did not notice in your mod list where you got the seat accessory in the first pic, looks great, did you order the heels seperate? Kidding man, pretty lady. Bike looks real good, plus you did it all yourself, love my samsons.

Thanks a lot for the comments. You guys have definitely taken your bikes to the next level, so I'll try to keep up! The seat cover is definitely my favorite mod to date Next will be chrome lowers and maybe whitewalls for the tire change.

Yeah Bobber, I'm in SD for the time being and it's nice to be able to ride EVERYDAY...Just got here after a 24 yr absense (used to live at Pt. Mugu as a kid in the 80's). BTW, I really like the way your tins turned out with the pinstriping! Tjb1971, I was pretty close to going with the FatCat (it looks great on your ride). My brother has one on his 110ci Fat Bob and it screams!
