Then, to my surprise, she wanted to start touring more and more, so I just started changing this and that, and then pondered trading/selling for a SG or and Ultra.............. Thanks to the economy, bikes took it in the shorts and I wasn't giving mine away. So, here we are! Give me a couple minutes and it looks like a SG, that's what I love about it. I'm not stuck with all the excess, but I truly wanted the SG to begin with. My wife got to pick the bike, now I get to modify it
I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for explaining. If wives didn't have control over the pooty, live would be so much simpler woundn't it. lol

The bike looks great but how about a couple of pictures in Street Glide form?

VERY nice job! I'd love to start something like that on mine. My wife will kill me if I do anything else this year. I'm pretty sure I'm cleared for modifications for winter though! I'll be looking ya up!

The amp is awesome. Paired with 4 ARC speakers and dialed in it sounds better than my car stereo. Pics on the screen? I assume you mean posting pics on here? Load them onto a hosting site, I use photobucket.com. Then when done, open a post here, copy the link, click on the "insert image" button and attach the link. If you did it right you can preview your post to make sure it worked.

I was thinking the same thing the other day, and I'm going to strip it down and give it a look see this week. Just got it all done and the weather turned to crap, so I haven't done much since I got er done.

Any questions, just ask. It wasn't as hard as I thought, once I got past the fear of taring into a 2 year old bike.......

Well, then he'd have missed the opportunity to do something for himself. Some guys actually like to work with their hands. Others just whip out the checkbook.

I think Jonny did a great thing turning his bike into a fairing bike. He has his own custom done with his own hands.

It isn't only about money, is it Jonny? It's about making your bike your own and doing it yourself.

I applaud you.
