I REALLY like this bike and I know there's a lot of them out there that look similar...however it's only that way because they look so good! I just bought my first Harley (2008 - 883) last night and it will be ready for pick up on Tuesday. I can only hope to have it be looking similar to this in the next month or two. Where did you get your intake and what was the cost if you don't mind me asking? Also, how is the install with the intake?? Good luck with the bike and congrats!

Yeah that was the first mod I made, the standard one in my opinion is just too plain!

Thanks Chad, I actually got the AC off of ebay, I attached the link below, and I got it for $227. The lowest price I could find online for the matte black one. It was very easy to install, shouldn't take you long at all to put it on. Good luck with your bike!

Removing the turn signals is an invitation for a traffic stop.

Yes, there are several options for relocating or going low profile, which are legal. I moved my rear ones to make room for saddle bags.
Do a search for low profile or relocation. That should get you about 20 hits. Mine took about 30-40 minutes. I put them on the licence plate holder.

Welcome! Bike's looking great, I might just have to flip the mirrors on mine today...

Keep me posted on what signal relo you go with, I'm considering moving mine too. First I need to figure out where my speedo's gonna go.
