Default Name my next mod

Since I have 3 weeks until my new wheels get here, Ive got a little spare time. Im def. gonna need something to do in the meantime, so, I came up with this idea...

Name my next mod..Cause I can't think of $hit to do.

I can't do the nacelle yet, HD is getting a new vendor, so that's out.

Im gonna do the bars and cables when I do the nacelle, so thats out.

I can't think of anything else...So here's your chance to spend some of my money.

The suggestion box is now open....and thx in advance for the ideas.

Your sled is squeaky clean so cleaning is out...aaaah heck, don't wait on your Nacelle for the bars, put your damn bars on already!

It's either that or start converting that chrome to platinum or gold!

I was going to say Shotgun but I see its already been done. I just put HD half moon running boards on my sled. Fits the style. 103 kit? Your sled is looking good. What wheels and tires are you getting? Your going to need to lower the front a couple inches if you go with a 21" wheel.

Maybe send your seat away for some custom stitching. Something personalized. How about some custom saddlebags. Nothing from a catalog, but have a leather shop hand make some one of a kind bags. Your bike is pretty amazing as is so its time to start thinking out of the box. If it can be bought in a catalog, skip it and move on to something else. How about having story808 personalize a cam or derby cover with something thats important to you. Thats where I would be headed with that bike.
