Default It won't end will it?

When I got my Street Glide I was going to leave it alone and just ride, well put a exhaust, intake and power commander but that was it. Well, here we are three years later and I just can't quit changing stuff and honestly it is mainly you guys fault because you keep posting the stuff you have done and makes me want to do mine like that. The thread about extended bags made me do the latest mod because I saw Baddad's extended tank covers and thought damn that looks HOT! So after doing some research and having the angel on my right shoulder telling me not to do it and the devil on my left shoulder telling me to go ahead, it’s not a biggie. I got weak and got them. I had to get the lettering done twice because the first time it was just too small and my buddy knocked them out of the park. I originally wanted it in silver leaf but that was going to take too long and he did them in silver with a marbleizer and silver flake and suggested putting some real fire around them and BAM! Here are a few pictures and I hope these don’t have the same effect on anybody else because I cannot be held liable if you have to buy you a set.

No 6 spd yet, I really don't do enough hwy riding to justify it really. 90% of the 25k miles I have put on the bike have been country road riding but it would be nice to have at the end of the month when we ride down to Thunder Beach.
