I think I'm still a few thousand less than the CVO but like Nostradamus said I still would have put quite a bit more into the CVO for Apes, Pipes and the chromed swingarm etc.. Plus I will probably want to paint it some day and make it even more BroTim's bike.

I saw something this weekend that I had never seen before. A wrap job on a Harley. The effect was gold leaf logo's over dollar scripting. While that color/style was not something I would do to my bike the effect was something I might look into it some day. THEY EVEN DO CHROME. Google chrome wrap and other custom wrap images. Much cheaper than paint. Seems to last a long time and improves resale as it comes off at trade-in or resale should the new owner want factory paint. Most importantly its unique and different and 100% up to the artist as to how crazy you want it to be. You guys on the west coast probably see stuff like that all the time. Out here in Massachusetts we seem to be about 5-10 years behind the times.

I have Sampson Street Sweeper exhaust with Big City Thunder baffles. They are plenty loud.

My bad I thought they were Basanni's. LOL. Well that puts another choice on my list. V&H short shots, Basanni turn outs, Sampson Street Sweepers, the new Magna Flow exhaust when it comes out, or have a custom exhaust made.

Brotim your ride is looking killer! As are the other breakouts on the forum. Nice to see all the new stuff coming out for our breakouts. Curious if anyone has any imput or experience with Rb racing or D and D Exhausts that are available,still hard to beat the looks of a nice 2 in 2.
