This isn't my first rodeo with a Harley...or a Sportster for that matter...I know when enough is enough...I am totally happy as it sits....Us old guys don't like changing a good thing too much.

Like the touch of chrome you did with the pipes. I agree that this is one of the nicer 48's that I have seen on this forum. Too many people are just bolting on so many things and this is a good example of why not to do that!
