Nice bike, Santo! On one photo it looks like you have a 2:1 exhaust, but in the other two, it's a dual system?

Thank you kind sir, yes it is a dual system from a Heritage Classic with after market shark fins.

Looking good my friend. You're going to have to let me pick your brain on a few of your mods.

Thanks man. I do love it as is. However because it is my daily rider and it sees a lot of miles and conditions it is due for a good refresher. Additionally, I think I can squeeze even more character out of it. The only hang up besides getting a hold of the parts I want (I shop mostly used which requires patience) is deciding whether to further push the nostalgic theme or to split the difference and do something along the line's of RedBeard's orange Springer which has a totally classic look combined with more contemporary flare.

I guess time and budget will tell.
