Default Added my first harley parts today

I added the passenger pillion and passenger pegs today. My first harley parts purchase. The passenger pillion makes the solo seat a little more comfortable with the added back support. The seat went on easily. The peg brackets were kind of behind the exhaust on one bolt but other than that, pretty easy. Was expecting a few more problems.(I am horrible mechanically). I like the way the bike looks with the add ons. Just the stock pegs right nowand I got the black brackets, I'm not a huge chrome fan. I think the bike has enough to make it look nice already. Will be changing out both sets of pegs eventually. It's a vivid black xl883 standard. Good first experience today though.

Good for you Joel85. Nothing more satisfying than tinkering about and personalizing your ride. I'm not a huge chrome fan either... well, maybe a little!

Your passenger will like the pillion better than the stock 2 up if you had one.
