Very nice -I know you've been working towards this for awhile - glad to see it all done. Apes totally change look and attitude of the bike. What kind of seat of pants difference did ywo end up with going from 2-1 to long cholos?

those fork boots look goofy as hell though and i think every softail needs wheels but that's a nice looking bike.

Looks good.

2 questions:

As asked earlier - do you notice any difference in the feel of the torque?

What about the heat from the left side pipe? If I am not mistaken you had the pipes ceramic coated right?

Looks good Tony, I like the cow bells but Im a bit of a Ness retro ***** so no surprise there. I think the single light looks way more gangster so you have a tough choice to make. You could go LED or HID if you need more light up front.

As for the pinstripe diferent year blk & wht's have different color pinstripes, mine is an 05 so it had the maroon as well...nice accent.
