Yes I am actually actively trying to sell them now... you can PM
Thanks man. It breaks up the black i didn't want to murder it out... its actually more black than i wanted to go.
that's TOUGH Elizer!!
I'm glad i'm still the only Slim with the freight train headlight, that i know of anyways. so thanks! ha.
I'd say pulley (Powder coated cover or new one) and lower belt guard and you're done done done.... til later-ish. *wink face
Quick question: what tires are those? michelin commander II's? are they 160's but fit like a 150? whatever they are, they fill that fender!... i guess the SS helps a little...
SICK. congrats!

Hey thanks a lot, i kind of stumbled on this exhaust. The name freedom performance drew me in. It sits up higher and does the job
Appreciate it man. Hogpro... these 2 wheels cost more than any 4 wheels i put on a car but they look quality and hogpro seems like they will stand behind their ****.
appreciate it man.
Lol thanks they are really pricey... i was gonna go with the DNAs.... they were really budget friendly... i just didn't want to deal with any future problems
Appreciate it

oh and just a random PSA. i've had new tires... got this bike with new tires too... but i got the metzlers 880 on the new wheels... i took a turn at 10-15 mph and almost ate ****. The rear end slid under... my hand pulled the throttle and i went into a death wobble. Legs and feet flailing i pulled the clutch and got the throttle going and recovered. The first instinct was to actually ditch the bike when it was wobbling and i dont know why i held on... the only result was scratches on the bottom part of the primary cover.
Anyways just wanted to give a heads up. I've had new tires... and at that speed it should not have been a problem but who knows. WHen i got to my house i felt the tires.... and with bare hands on rubber it felt slick.
Just glad i was able to keep it and not lay it down. I thought i was being careful but not enough.

Hey its not a front turn signal kit... ill take some closer pictures later... it actually doesn't look pretty up close. I went to the HD dealer for a TS relocate kit and they couldn't do it. So i went to Ace to get the same bolt but a little extended. I just took them off with the same bracket it had attached to the levers and put them down near the forks where the tins mount to.

They're 5/16" studs, and just the right length, with different threads on each half.
One coarse and one fine.
The coarse thread screws into your fork while the fine end accepts the turn signal housing perfectly... Very clean.
Edit: They're even long enough to use if you have the quick-detach windshield hardware installed.

Great job. Bike looks really nice.
How do you like the exhaust? I wear shorts when I ride to the gym and the pipe looks like it is positioned to potentially be a little painful in the leg area.

You could have just used a couple exhaust port studs (H-D p/n 16715-83)
