Default Winter upgrades
A few winter upgrades include street slammer bars, new nacelle light with black LED, powder coated front lower fork, new ness cow bell, 585 S&S cams, and a thunder header exhaust, and a new lepera cobra seat with a serpent design with gator inlay, new brake rotors, new speedo and dash,extreme machine grips. Pictures don't do it justice,

Now all you need is the Shotgun shock to SLAM it down!

Nice bike Dude. Being the chrome ***** that I am I will say that your bike is 1 of the blacked out bikes I would not mind having out in my garage. I also agree that the Shotgun Shock would put your bike over the top. Your also right about pictures not doing your bike justice. Pictures of my bike as she sits now, it just about looks stock and I hate that. I do get my gratification when it's seen in person though. The more you look the more you find. I don't like big, flashy, bold or to much going on at once. You have a sweet sled Dude.

Default Shock
Where did you guys get the shotgun shock and how much does it lower it? I've scraped my old running boards before so if I lower it I'm sure it will happen a lot more?
