Default 2004 Softail Standard

Picked it up a few days ago. The RK is better suited for long hauls, so this one is for around town. Already on order -

Biltwell Chumps 8" chrome Mini Apes
2" Black Smooth top risers
Butt Bucket solo seat
DK coil relocation and horn kit

The next couple of weeks should be fun.

Thanks, fellas. The color is a medium blue metallic. Didn't get the name, just saw it and said that's the one. Going with yellow and orange flames on the tank. Fatboy rear fender should be here this week. Painter is going to fill all the holes on the rear fender, won't be anything but paint and struts on it.

Dropped my tins off today. 80 spoke, 21x2.15 rim came in. 18x3.5 80 spoke for the rear should be here Monday. Got plenty to do before I get my tins back from paint.

Can't wait to see the paint. The thing I love about the standard is you can go in so many different directions with it
