New narrow beach bars
New custom rear fender
New front and rear turn signals

Ok guys...getting close to being "done" (at least for now). Some of the mods:
RSD Vintage rear fender, rear adjustable lowering kit (at about 1.5" inches lower right now), relocated ECM under seat, mini-bullet rear turn signals (front coming soon), Model A Ford brake light and plate bracket from NYC Choppers, HD forward controls, V&H short shot pipes (dyno'd)...coming soon a slimmer black leather solo seat from Shadetree and use of scissor springs for the seat. Eventually removing the pinstriping too. That'll be about it.
Here are a few mods I've done. C&C Tour Sport seat (red stiching), Road 6 8" z-bars, HD round slotted mirrors, devil head license plate holder, spider web pinstriping by Magic Pinstriping (Alvin, TX), Black Diamond hand grips. I have a couple more things to do but I'm pretty close to being done.
