Default Winter Mods, halfway there

Started completely stock, slowly plugging away, Front end done (for now), starting rear end and minor performance stuff tomorrow....
Before:


So far:
16's, grips, mirrors, powder coated front end...


..And surprisingly my favorite mod so far, Alloy Art Fatboy Signals....

I like those signals, a buddy of mine runs them on his 03 fatboy. I wish I could put them on mine, but they apparently won't work with the windshield mounts :'(

I'm sure there is a way to modify the windshield bracket to make it work with the signals. I rode home from the dealer with my windshield, it's been sitting in the basement ever since. Never use it.

I was chatting with a JP Cycles Harley Tech asking if this would fit the Slim and his response was "they only fit the FATBOY..." Does the Fatboy and Slim have the same front end?? Wont these fit on the Slim???

That blacked out front end changed the ENTIRE appearance of your bike. LOOKS KILLER. Should have come that way from the Factory.
