Default Upgrades

Just ordered Black Dresser Duals, and a pair of Blackout Rounds from Eastern Performance.

Also, a set of Black Paul Yaffe 12" black Monkey Bagger bars.

I always say when I get a new bike that I'm not going to do much to it, but the mod bug always sneaks up and bites me.

Will post pics once it's complete.

One day I went into my local HD Dealer and in the course of conversation I told him I was done with upgrades to my 03 Sportster. He said "So which new bike are you getting?" That is so true and it is just the way it goes. Don't fight it, enjoy the process when you are all done with your mods it will be time to start on another bike.

I'm looking forward to your pics.

I never thought about it like that, but you're right. I had a Superglide custom that I spent 2 years doing mods to. I was to the point to where I wanted to change the look again, but traded for a SG instead. I've been all summer with only replacing the stock slip-on and thought I could last on that...lol...no such luck.

On a side note...if you've never ordered parts from Eastern Performance, I highly recommend it. I'd used them before with good results, but today I placed my order and two hours later received an email saying it'd been shipped. Now that is customer service.

I was just looking at their site, and was curious as to the customer service. The prices look good too.

Phase 1 is complete. Dresser duals and Black out rounds are installed, and sound awesome. I'm really impressed.
