RE: How about a deuce picture thread
For the Softail, I ordered Martin Bros Shock Waves. I'm probably gonna get some V&H Shortshots for the Sportster when they come out with the black ceramic coated ones in November.
Is there a website for Carolina Customs? I saw the rolling chassis kit from them on Ebay, but that's all I could find. It only fits Sportsters up to '03. The one I get to play with a '07. I've even looked for a springer front end for it, but everything only fits the older models. I guess it'll just take some time before all the cool stuff comes out for the newer models.

cool! i haven't seen the newshock waves on a bike yet. do they come with the heat shields and removable baffles? back when i bought my mb pipes they didn't come with baffles andi had to buy theheat shields seperately.

RE: How about a deuce picture thread
I'll post some pictures once I get the Shock Waves put on the Softail. I looked at the links you posed, and those are some sweet lookin' Sportster frames. The only problem is they don't work for the '07s. A big reason for that is the huge ECM the new Sportsters have. Harley located it in a cutout in the rear fender because there was nowhere else they could stick it. There's no place on those hardtail frames to stick the ECM. Also, those frames won't work with the rubber engine mounts. It looks like I'll be using stock frame and just making it look as custom as I can. I thought about putting the "Hardtail Struts" from Licks Custom Cycles on the bike and taking off the rear shocks, but I think I'm gonna keep to shocks so I don't sacrifice what little comfort the Sportster has. I'm sure there'll be a lot more custom parts comin' out for the newer bikes in the future. Someone is gonna have to make somethin' that takes that ugly ECM into consideration.

That would definitely be an option the Mrs wouldn't go for. I'm surprised she let me keep the Sportster she doesn't want to ride, instead of making me get rid of it to get her an SUV. I consider myself lucky to have what I do. So I'll just keep tinkering with it and the Softail, and be happy doing it.
