RE: Softail Standard Pictures
Hi guys,
Well I finally was able to get some work done to the bike last weekend. Here are a couple of pics.
Here is what it looked like before:
and here it is finished, I wanted to get some daytime shots this weekend but it decided to snow Friday night and
Saturday...so no riding this weekend.
I liked the looks of the black Softail Custom tins and picked up a set off fleabay back before Christmas.
I also broke down a bought a tri bar taillight, they sure do look nice and are very bright.
I had a smoked taillight with a led bulb but everyone I rode with said that they could hardly see it so that's another reason for upgrading the tailight. I installed a crome regulator cover and a new derby cover while I was at it.
I had done the Stage 1, BBS pipes, and rear lowering kit last summer.
Next on the list is a new seat and maybe a set of apes.
I still haven't decided on what seat to get but have narrowed it down to a couple of choices, but I'm liking the Saddlemen Renegade Sport.

Hey mojo-
Does the injection flap fasten on with 2 small phillips screws? if so, that's what I thought could be causing the problem. It seemed to run okay today but still worried about it.

Thanks Mojo, future plans include a new seat and some bars, I'm thinking of some 14" apes maybe.I also like the heavy breather but will have to wait and see on how much more I can do this season.

Ecoli,
hope you got your breather issue fixed. Hey if your looking to light your plate eventually i saw a post a while back about lighted bolts for a licence plate bracket. Could be an easy way around a ticket.
Rabbit your bike looks good in black. (but then you might say i'm a bit partial)
I always wondered why harley left the oil tank black on the standard instead of colour matching it to the bike.
Had a sunny, mild weekend here. Spent sat polishing then sunday out for a blast with the gf. Heres a pic of the bikes together. What do you guys think about the studs on the stock HD seat on my standard? Ya, no ?? Pulled the fork reflectors off too, i think it looks better without them.
cheers

Fork reflectors gone[sm=smiley4.gif]
Seat studs work for now I say, but if you go more of a pro-street look in the future you'll have to pan 'em. Dependson what look you go for. For now they look fine.
