YOU CAN GO SOOO MUCH LOWER. DIP THAT BIKE AND LET THE ROAD GRIND IT AWAY. Lost one of the pegs on the Dragons tail. It was great!

Thanx bro ! Lotta guys think old schooling em wrecks the look of the BO but IMHO, its just another one of the many themes you can opt for with these versatile rides. I like it, obviously, and I'll be taking some ideas from your pics when you get em up

.

Switching to straight, (no offset or drag nub) pegs helps with cornering clearance and the Ricor / RaceTech mod makes a big difference too. Difference 3 is this fork extension, obviously.

A poster by the handle TinCupChalis has put an oil filter relocation kit on his Dyna which looks good on this style of ride:

They make filter access easier and cool things a bit too. I have the kit and its going on next oil change.

Lookin forward to those pics !

Classy bro !! I dunno what possessed the MoCo to come out with that bullsasshole badge for the BO but I couldn't get rid of mine fast enough.

Again, great job !

Looks much better now. The stock emblems were the first that had to go off my bike, too....together with the reflectors. Those you should tackle next

Looks great! Maybe I missed it, but what are you doing about rear signals? I've been thinking of the LED strut tips and a strip under the fender; my factory lights are chewing up 1157 bulbs like they're going out of style for some reason.

And here's my re-badged BO. Always hated the OEM badges. Thanks to ArcherAve for getting the info for this mod.

I just hated the look of the stock turn signals.

Thanks! The only reason I have left my reflectors on is because I live in the city and perpendicular park on busy streets quite a bit. I suppose they aren't helping too much, and can probably go.

I left mine on also for basically similar reasons. If your bike is ever hit at night, and you have taken off the technically legally required reflectors, you risk having the other guy's insurance try to assess partial fault to YOU since you made your bike less visible at night.
