Here are a couple of mine from this weekend, trying to figure out how to do something a little different than the standard fender chop that everyone else does. Rode around sunday without the rear fender and then took the front fender off, might like the look of no fenders more than I thought, just not sure I wanna chop the fender struts off just yet



There are still a few things I want to do, just haven't gotten to them yet

Nothing you can see other than a springer seat and solo saddlebag. Did a Stage 1 upgrade, Rush slip ons and progressive suspension front and back. Tried a Sick Saddles seat. It was beautiful but did not work for me.

I actually really dig the look of no fenders, makes it look more aggressive.

I added Bassani slip ons, flying knuckle footpegs from DK Custom, a Velociraptor air intake with breather bolts from DK, Sick Saddles seat, HD sissy bar, Avon coke bottle grips and a Power Vision tuner from Fuel Moto. The bike is running really strong and fits me well so I'm pretty much done with mods for now. Might get Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes and a tach down the road and if HD ever sells Candy Red Flake side covers I'll look at those too.
