Default new member, new blackline

Just picked up my first harley a few weeks ago and made some changes based on some great ideas ive found on this forum. Looking at putting on harley's pullback bars, some PM grips and pegs, and a front signal relocate kit.

So far ive got V&H big radius 2 into 2's on there with an RSD air cleaner, side plate bracket, black derby, and smoked out signal light covers.

Any suggestions would be great. Also, anyone interested in the stock parts i replaced, let me know.

Glad to finally have a harley and to get on this forum. y'all take care

Good Start Jay. Those handlebars DO make a ton of difference in riding once you get them on.

I'm thinkin the black diamond grips and pegs from H-D would look good. As would the edge cut black controls. A small black non - padded sissy bar would be cool too.

I've been a fan of the "BL" since they rolled em out...

Maybe things are different in Oz, but my rear lights don't have LEDs.

Or else your dealer is an idiot.
