Here is a list of modifications that I have made to my 2009 Crossbones.
1. Harley windshield kit
2. Roadhouse 2 into 1 exhaust
3. RSD rear fender painted to match with pinstripe".
4. Shadetree Fabrications seat pan "modified to sit lower on frame".
5. HD nostalgic hand grips
6. HD narrow beach bars
7. HD 1997 "BAD BOY" 4 inch risers
8. HD nostalgic horn
9. VTwin MFG Black right hand side tool case with homemade bracket
10.1931 ford tail light mounted on side plate bracket
11. Side Road Customs leather XL Swing arm bag
12. Auto Gem rear turn signals with red lenses
13. Black custom "1" Derby cover
14.HD front turn signal mounts. They move stem to side instead of down giving more clearance from the tank.
I am not against windshields. I run a King Size Harley windshield on my Crossbones and I love it. But for some reason, the rest of your scoot begs for NO windshield. It doesn't look so bad or anything but the stripped down look that you did to the rest of the bike makes the shield seem out of place. Otherwise it's a great looking bike. I would love to see better pics of the exhaust and tool box!
I will take better pics soon and post and yes it looks alot better with out the windshield. Here are a couple pictures I took before the handle bar riser swap.
Looks great!! How does the Badboy risers change the feel of the beach bars? My windscreen seems to create more turbulance than elimination of wind (HD shorty). I ordered a clearview screens recurve higher screen that I'm hoping will make 75 MPH rides a little less windy.
