Hello everyone,

I finally had a chance to finish my 97 XL 1200 Custom Sportster update. What I did:
1. New rear fender, brake light, turn signals.
2. New front/rear tires and brakes
3. Took paint to metal and changed color (New color: Tequila Lime Gold)
4. Rewired turn signals, headlights, and brakes.
5. Added Harley saddlebags.
6. New foot pegs and heel rest

Let me know what you think!!

Damn, I thought the first photo (orange) was the end product but boy was I in for a ride!

Great paint job to turn around the coloured bits.
That orange looked like it had been ladled on especially the front fender had lost all definition.

 

Same here. That project turned out great! The color really pops

Any decals going onto the tank?
