Thanks everyone for the comments! Again, all great feedback.

As far as WW's I may try that next year. This year to finish (mind you before february, i didn't have the wheels, shotgun shock or the seat), I'm going to lower the front and get the license plate relocated below the brake light.

I am not tossing around the idea of getting 36" pipes and getting the PC black.

What do you guys think I can get out of the PM fast air cleaner? It's $460 or something brand new.

Keep the comments coming :-)

haha the guy on the bike is my Dad (harley nut). We were in TN where they have helmet laws. I wear an icon jacket haha. Most of my gear is left over from my sportbike riding days.

haha again, that is NOT ME. That helmet IS NOT MINE. The guy in the pic is my DAD.

I have the shotgun shock, so it's slammed. Had it up that day due to the inclines in the hills of tennessee

Good looking sled, but The apes don't look right to me with the style. Beach bars.

Cholos are cool but I think they are way to long ... Yeah the black forks and apes out of contrast. I do think it's a great and unique look though. But I know I would wreck those Cholos.
