Nice to see you flying the springer colors up front with the horn. Give that seat a chance, its confortable for a stocker. Only reason I switch was to put be lower and further back.

thanks guys,
I haven't made up my mind on the seat yet, I generally like it but find I'm squirming around quite a bit to get back to the comfy spot. The lights are just the HD fog lamps, I haven't been out at night yet so I can't say how well they work. I did remove the heel shifter, much better for my left leg. It didn't like being halfway between the mid position and the highway peg position. I love the looks of the horn, to bad I screwed up and ordered the horn instead of the whole horn kit!

I just added V&H big shots 2 into 1 and a Roland Sands Design air filter. I'm loving the sound of these pipes. I had originally planned to go old school with true duals with fish tails, but then I decided that there was enough of that out there and I would rather go in a different direction. I'm going for more of an industrial look.

C. Numb bike looks great, like you oil cap. Pipes look like beasts on the side of the bike, I bet they bark like beasts too. I see you lost the rear reflectors, but kept the front? Only suggestion I have for a more industrial look would be to take some of that 'puff' out of the seat, maybe that 1925 original? - looks great on the bikes I have seen it on.

I have been considering the 1925. I think it looks great too. I am deiding between that, and a custom seat. I ordered a unique shaped swing arm bag, so I want to wait for that to come in before picking a new seat.
