Thanks. I'm looking to start changing stuff out again on my bike to give it another look. I really like the way my bike looks now, but I keep seeing other things I like and I keep getting new ideas. But that's part of the fun of owning a Harley. I can't decide if I want to change the suspension, air cleaner, wheels, exhaust, or seat. Those are the things that seem to have the biggest impact on how a bike looks. Any suggestions on what to change anyone?
Suspension first (wish i had done mine earlier) get the back of the bike lower!!!!
Seat second, opens up the back of the bike.
Air cleaner third
Wheels fourth-this is going to be the hardest-too styles many to pick from

I have the bolt kit on my bike now. Would the Progressive setup drop it lower than it is now or would it just improve my ride? I'm thinking that going to a 18" wheel in the rear would give the appearance of being lower because the chrome would be up to the fender.
The shocks drop the rearlower and improves the ride. I have the 18" X 5.5" rear wheel, look in my gallery, i have pictures of all 3 phases of the bikes transformation. The new wheel did give it the appearance of being lower but, not enough for my likeing.

Hey guys
I need some suggestions on something. I installed some
chrome sticky back swingarm covers. When I changed
my pipes. The bracket for the stock pipes split the cover
in two due to the placement of that bracket. You could
see it in my sig picture if you follow the top pipe. I put
3 chromebutton head screws to fill the holes but there's
still an empty space. I could possibly machine a piece to
fit the space and then have it chromed but it seems like
alot of work and money. Any help would be appreciated.
Mike - are you talking about the Boomerangs? I just went into your gallery and zoomed in on the swingarm area, I think your bike looks great the way it is, mo need to craft anything fo that area IMHO.
Voodoo
That's right, the Boomerangs. I was thinking of buying another
set and using the other side and put it on the pipe side but it's
not shaped the same. You're right though. Better leave alone.
It doesn't show much anyways.
