Hey! Just recently purchased my first Harley. It's a 1999 Sinister Blue Ultra Classic with 57k miles. I have had the bike about 5 days now and i absolutely love it. It was a 30th birthday gift to myself. When I was 20 I owned sport bikes. Then upgraded to a Suzuki Boulevard and Yamaha Bolt(still own). But decided I needed a Harley by the time I was 30. It was a 1 owner bike and in great shape. I installed a 6" wave smoked windshield, fairing mount mirrors, and LED strobe taillights in the tour pack and rear lamp. I upgraded to Kenwood speakers and will be putting a new stereo in soon as well. My next purchase will be bars. I'm 6 foot and looking to retain the factory cabling so probably going to stick with a 12" set of apes. So far this forum has been awesome to check out. So many great ideas. Well, just figured I'd post some pics of the few little things I've done so far. I look forward to hearing/finding many other great ideas from you guys. Ride safe!
Before: 13\" clear windshield and long stem mirrors
After: 6\" wave smoked windshield with fairing mount mirrors.
