Alright everyone here are some pics of some of the work i have done on it. I installed the Licks 10" Aped Z Bars.. Relocated the front singles as well as flipped the mirrors... This Bike is a rush to ride now. I had some trouble with the screws in the controlls.. ended up haveing to dremel off the heads of a couple because the hex head where stripped out..

Yea it put a crimp in my day lol... but i got it all done.

I also included a picture of the under the fender LED Brake light for Seabee

Default Little Update lol

I Havent really had a lot of time or expendable income cause of the holidays However i have gotten a little work done on the bike. I have added DK Custom 2" Risers to the bars and i must admite that the bike feels much nicer to ride now. Next i think will be a rear fender chop and a Tank Lift/Coil/Ignition Relocation ... I will let you all know when i have them done.

I Have attached a Picture of the Bike with the Risers as well as a Picture from the January First Ride a buddy of mine and I did.

Nice looking ride. Sportsters are now back breakers for me. I had 4 previously when I was seventeen, started with an ironhead and got various models from there. I just recently traded off a big twin heritage for a dyna street bob. I had looked at the 48 and nightster and 1200 Low. I love sportsters. Unfortunately Im just too beat up to ride one anymore. I love what everyone is doing to there sportsters here on the forum. Keep up the good work and please post pictures when you do mods.

Looking good!

Getting handlebars in that sweet spot can make all the difference in the ride.
