Default Winter progress...

I made a few changes to my 06 XL1200C this winter and thought I'd share a quick picture.

Changes include:

-9.5" Wild 1 risers
-Night Rod Special bars
-Smoked signal lenses
-Smoked tail light lens
-Relocated rear signals to license plate bracket
-New clutch & throttle cables
-H-D Quarter Fairing (upgraded from Ness Quarter Fairing)
-Fresh gloss white paint on fairing, tank, fenders and side covers.
-Edge Brackets (still need to order bags)
-Ness Stage 1 Big Sucker
-Thunderheader

Sorry for the crappy Blackberry pic...there are a few more in my album. I'll get some more decents pics once the snow melts and the bike comes out of my shop. The way our weather is going...it could be May once that happens...

fvcken A. love the qtr. fairings. leaving the speedo there or any plans on moving it? would look really clean if you swapped out the rear views for bar end style or something or flip them and maybe relocate speedo somewhere. love that look tho.

The speedo's gonna stay up top. I like having it in front of me so I don't have to look down to see it...especially when I'm wearing my full face helmet. I do like having the mirrors up top too, although, bar-end mirrors wouldn't be a bad idea either. Thanks for the comments.

I like the fairing. I also like how low the front end is with the straps squeezing it tight!

Bikes look so good strapped down.

Thanks. Not sure of the table's dimensions...I didn't build it. I could measure it next time I'm in the shop if you want. To get bikes on it, we have a ramp that attaches to the back of the table with ratchet straps.

Thanks. I'd have to agree that the bike looks good with the front end compressed, however, I could never ride it with slammed fork springs because of how rough the roads are around here.
