Default Project LowLux figured I would start a build topic

Always changing my bike figured I would keep it all in one topic. Purchased my first Harley last April. 06 deluxe, 6,000 miles all original except some Harley upgrades. Coming from a family of Harley riders my grandfather and both my parents it was bound to happen. Been building cars since I was 16, all Lowrider style, wire wheels hydraulics so it was natural too build it like they do in Cali.
Here it is the day I got it

After removing the horrible bags and windshield.

Also had a full led kit, it's gone now wasent a fan

Got an amazing deal on some baby cholos.

Installing shotgun, pretty easy job

Slammed

Wanted a stretched tank to match my fenders. Got this brand new factory Harley optional 2 inch stretched tank off eBay. Brand new. Ugly paint but it was nice.

Stripping down for winter

Test fitting new tank, need to trim the seat a tiny bit.
