Just got back on my feet (literally). Here's what I got going on

New A/C
New Floor Boards
New Grips
New Tank badges
Custom 1.5 " Beach Bars from BR's bars with Exile int throttle
New Seat
Samson chrome exhaust brackets
Hub cap going back on with custom engraving and re chrome
Thinking about cutting the tips off my long tails and putting different tips on (MAY BE)
Putting the Fender tip on from a Road King Classic
Think thats about it

I will chime in my new Slim was PDI'd today and there was a message on the phone from the dealership when I got home asking if I could call them with the insurance policy number so they can get it licenced and ready for pick up Friday or Saturday depending on the weather! So I'm pretty excited about that!!!

I just requested input on performance upgrades. As long as we don't get these guys worried about who is and who ain't a "real rider" we'll be ok. I'd rather have the silence that read that ****.

Yeah, let's talk about bikes.

You'll like the shotgun. Its def. one of my better mods. No rush though, Im with you on the saving up for it part. weather is getting nice out. can't wait for Laconia bro.
Ya getting ready for Laconia. We'll have to hook up. Hotel is booked for the last weekend thurs/Friday/sat/sun

Or if anyone comes up to RI hit me up. Newport county is great and some good riding.
