The only thing as cool as black and chrome is chrome and black.

Enjoy!

I like the bike but those pull back risers look terrible with apes.

I agree, move the turn signals to the trees.

Default Forward Control = Arlen ness extension kit

I bought the Ness 3" Extension kit for this setup, bolted right up no problems. I saw that HD has a set of fwd's but I had used Ness in the past when I had my Heritage converted from FL floorboards to FX fwds. The HD extended fwds in the catalog were pricey, plus since the bike already had fwd controls on it I opted to just extend them out at half the cost of HD or other aftermarkets.

Welcome to the Breakout club! I think it looks great!

Love the sound of the chrome slip-ons, and the last one without baffles is the best.

My question:
What are the saddlebag knuckles you have? I need saddlebags really bad!
What bags will fit with stock turn signals? Personally, I'll wait for Fox Creek to make a set that will work.
Enjoy the ride!

Bike is nice man. I would loose that headlight. Go with something like what I have in my signature pic. It's gonna make your bike look longer.
