Default My Slim build... finally

Well I started the bulk of the build late march... finally done.

Crap I did
Slammer 7 wheels 18 front and back (thanks hogpro)
Custom dynamics front and rear Led and smoked covers
Truck lite led head lamp and extended trim
14 in Carlini Pist apes w/ biltwell 1.5 in risers
Magnum shielding cables
Black lower forks
Progressive monotubes with 2in drop
Gloss black covers (all the covers) still havent put on story's derby cover yet though
Gloss black rocker covers and lower rockers (thanks powder shop pro, JOe)
DK custom air cleaner, breather bolts, and 2in deluxe tank lift (thanks dk custom)
Some random air cleaner cover
Shotgun Shocks (thanks JD)
Ebay levers (clutch lever doesn't have that bump that engages the neutral switch... annoying guess ill havce to fix that soon)
Ebay heel toe shift levers
Freedom Performance Exhaust (got it cuz it sits higher than the Fat Cat DD exhaust that would drag after i lowered the bike... Fat Cat had a better tone though)
Power Vision Tuner
Arlen ness mirrors
I think i may be missing something here but i can't remember

The next mod will be a new seat... im thinking the mustang solo with back rest and some highway pegs. Pulleys, brakes, And later later later down the road ...cams.

The dealer...





With the fat cat Exhaust (miss the sound)



Apart to put on bars, lowers, monotubes, rocker covers, tank lift



Putting front end back together and bars




Was going to only change out the rocker covers... then decided to change out lower rockers too... so i had to order them ... I literally had no idea what i was doing at this point... just tried to wing it... lol.



Shotgun shock



Trucklite and extended trim... woulda gone with freight train nacelle... but at this point i already dropped so much money on this thing




Slammer 7 wheels, on a 18 its a 160 in the back but its basically a 150...





Some Misc Shots

I like the look you gave it...more tough and sporty than old school. I won't mention anything about the stock rotors and pulley with those badass wheels.

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!

i case you care to know, i got the Mustang wide tripper with back rest and it's the SHHH on long rides. (relative to the stocker) Also riding without the backrest, the curve in the back helps me from sliding off the back under hard accel.
