Don't really want to lower mine any more than what it is so that's the only problem i would be facing i'm thinking.

Yep I have a vertical plate behind the swingarm bag. I just blacked out the plate on paintshop, so its hard to see in the pic. I have a module from Badlands installed to the tail lamps that allow me to run turn signals and brake lights. You're fender will be higher if you don't lower your bike. If your worried about ground clearence you could always go with air suspension like the Shotgun Shock.

Bike looks killer. Dig the first Hog Pro wheel. Would look great with your air cleaner.

I've changed up a few things on my ride. I got the HD LED headlamp installed. I chopped up the Fatboy front fender and now it matches the rear fender.Changed the leather tank panel to Willie G skull. I got some cheap mirrors of Ebay and I cleaned up the left side of the bike by relocating the coil and horn. I'll have to take some pics to post up. Only pic a got is of the coil and horn relocate.

Also waiting for a custom derby cover from Story! It's gonna be Sick!

Sweet looking scoot! I've got those bars for my winter project. What brand cables did you got with? Burly kit, Magnum braided, Harley, something else thanks for any info.

Brake Line is from Magnum, Throttle cables are from Motion Pro, and Clutch Cable is from Barnett. Throttle and clutch are +6 they are longer than what I was expecting. I was worried about +4 being to short and still don't know if they would have fit or not.

****ing sick bro. I like the forwards controls. How difficult was the install. What year is your bike. I'm thinking about doing the edge cut forwards on my Lo but I'm not sure if its even doable
