Default the mods are beginning

i piked up an 09 883L about 2 months ago it has 2000 miles on it, my plan was to buy it and build what i want rather than buy a brand new bike and still not have what i want... i started picking up parts here and there and now i think i have everything so i will start ripping th ebike down and building what i want

parts:
16'' roland sands apes (black) and cables
vance and hines short shots black
screaming eagle heavy breather black
black strut cover
rigid struts
2'' tank lift
coil and ignition relocation kit
la rosa spring seat conversion with scissor springs
side mount licence plate
flat black battery and oil tank covers
forward controls

i plan on piecing the bike together and chopping my fender then bringing it in for paint... i will be starting the mods within the next few weeks i will update pics as i go. any input or ideas are wanted!!! thanks
