Default Before and After...

Bored at work and looking through pics.
Found a pic of my bike at the dealership when I picked her up 7 years ago.

Let's see some before and after pics of your ride. Bonus points if you can list all of the upgrades.

Getting ready to ride her home.

It was a tru geezer glide when I got it. Stripped off a ton of ****, sold it all. Now it looks pretty good, I think. Lots of mods, but nothing high dollar. First two pics are when I bought it. Bottom pic is now, more or less.

First pic is how she sat in the showroom the day I made the deal. Second pic is current.

Mods are too numerous to fully list but major ones are Stage 2, seat, bars, and chrome.

Found my 2001 dirt cheap,all original(even the front tire!) neglected,dirty and corroded from salt air in a car port. The Frankie Goes To Hollywood tassels and goofy golden eagle light visors were the first thing to go.



Nothing dramatic,just a de-geezering and some de-chroming.This weekend the front end is coming apart for new montubes,painted inner fairing and Enforcer front wheel,weather here is finally getting reasonable.
