Default A few pics of my "not so" Standard....

I've only had the bike since August but it's had quite a few different looks. It looked like this when I picked it up:


Then I added a new seat and a few other accessories:


Then I got a Thunderstar front wheel and lowered the rear, ditched the apes for some WildOne chubby drags and a Mustang seat:



Now I'm back to the apes, a barebones and in the process of going "Fat" with chrome Fatboy wheels that I picked up from a fellow forum member. I still need to get the back wheel on and decide on a front fender but I'm really happy so far:

Not wild about the Fatboy front wheel but the rest of the bike is cool.

The Thunderstar has been sold and the stock spoke wheel is hanging in my garage in case I decide to go back to stock later on.

I like the Fatboy front wheel. But you need to finish the job by getting a matching rear wheel.
Looks good!
