And so it begins. I, like many other people, have never been able to own something and leave it alone. Stock is just not something I've ever really done. So I'm starting a build thread to show some progress on my little Iron. Here's how she sat when I first brought her home.
Spent some time yesterday throwing on some HD goodies, Screamin Eagle intake, Vance & Hines short shots and a set of VIED's. The Dark custom covers are beautiful in person!
The point is, I started with a stock bike, will be adding more and more parts to it to make it mine, and I'm posting pics for people to follow incase they see it, like things about it and have questions about how or where I did or got something on my bike. Just because I didn't build it from scratch doesn't mean it isn't a "build".
Made some more progress. Finally got around to chopping the rear fender, fender struts, throwing the badlands rbt module in, new headlight shroud and new taillights. Mocking up a seat pan, springer seat and installing z bars tomorrow.
