'93 fxsts thus far

Well, I picked up this beauty beginning of the summer and since have made a few minot changes. Added the 8'' z bars, new red flake grips, and a west eagle red flake seat. Got a few more improvements to make before I'm content. Will be replacing the mirrors with small spots from builtwell, and remounting the front turns to the down tubes.

Just wanted to get some opinions and feedback from y'all. Let me know what ya think.

The seat will be staying for now. May eventually do a sprung solo seat and custom rear fender, but not until next winter. Prolly gonna end up throwing a set of upswept fishtails on there this coming winter. Anybody have suggestions as to which brand to go with? I know Paugho makes a set and so does Samson.

Typically when I see something that was (IMO) done in bad taste, I'll just pass on posting. But if you really want to know what we think, I'll tell you.

I think if left the bike alone and didn't do any of your mods, that it would be a great looking bike. But IMO you ruined it with that seat & grips. Again it's only my honest opinion, but I think it looks ridiculous with that red seat & grips. I don't see how anybody could "honestly" consider that an improvement. I'm actually still wondering if you're serious or just pulling our puds.

If you are serious, I hope you can accept honest but negative opinions without hurting your feelings
