Default 2011 Superlow Updates

Made the following changes over the past month or so:

Rush 3" slip-ons with 1.75" baffles
DK Customs Outlaw Black Finned HiFlow 587 Air Cleaner with breather bolts
Tuned the bike with a Screaming Eagle Super Tuner
12.5" 412 Progressive Cruise Shocks
National Cycles Deflector Windshield
Viking bags swing arm bag

Not sure if I will keep the deflector shield on the bike, in two minds at the moment. Have only been on two rides so far with the screen.
Love the exhaust sound from the Rush slip-ons
The DK Customs air cleaner with the breather bolts is amazing and I would highly recommend it over other air cleaners and systems.

Still have more to do....

Congrats on your bike, same year and looks like the same colours as mine - merlot/black? On more important matters, what is your car?

Nice looking ride and updates. Congrats.

The one in the bottom pic looks like one of those coin operated kiddie cars. I rode a few of those when I was too young to know better.

In the top pic, if I had to guess, the profile looks like a '55 Ford Fairlane sedan.

Thanks - it was the bigger one that caught my eye!

I found it on the side of the road - seems to have been parked there for a while.

Thanks, it's the merlot/black one. Thinking of replacing the sprocket cover with something that looks better. Just have to find something.

Just put a BAL tail light on the bike - that is one bright light!

I went with a chrome wheel sprocket cover and bolts, chrome upper belt guard and black rear axle cover for my '11 Custom. JMO, but it complements the exhaust and motor if you like chrome.

Just bought the Kuryakn Mesh Front Pulley Cover in chrome, as soon as it arrives and I put it on I'll take some pics. I liked the look of it. Will probably have to clean out the sprocket.

I think it's time for the DK Custom tank lift and coil and key relocation
