Default any "retro" baggers out there?
Been trying to figure out what direction to go with customization of my 07 FLHT. I'm leaning towards a "retro" look with wide whitewalls, old HD tank emblems, lots of chrome trim, retro floorboards, etc. similar to the pic posted below. I'd love to see more pics if anyone else has gone down this path with their bagger. Post 'em if ya got 'em

I have add a few retro items to mine. I dont have any new pics of it yet but I swapped my bag guard rails, put on the Nostalgic bag guard rails, leather wrap and studded crash guard and kick stand cover, floor board fringe, Studded Tank counsel, studded leather mud flap in the back, put on the concho style front fender extension and rear floor board covers, just dropped her down in back, wide whites will come when I need new tires
