Painted/powdercoated the fender lights and trim. Have'nt seen that done before. This bike has pretty much looked the same since 03. BEFORE the Street Glide. Painted the Air cleaner bolt too! See profile pic. LOL
My 99 FLHT has whatever random parts that I like. I've added new grips, air cleaner, and took the big NASTY cover off the tank and replaced it with a Klock Werks tank panel piece, painted body color, as well as inner fairing. I lowered it, added porker exhaust to it and changed the massive pillow seat to a RK for now(would like a SG one). I have new handlebars on the way, stereo to add, and want to take the trim pieces off the fenders. I also added a Kuryakyn billet turn signals since my 78 FLH has almost the same ones as the 99 did(Harley needs some updates).
I owned a Black 07 FLHT STD. I didn't want the SG. I liked the silver engine/trans. IMO it sets the bike off. I installed the radio,the other 2 gauges & cruise control. I also liked the front & rear fender running light. I traded it in on a 2011 FLTRX 103.
I picked this one up in Sturgis in 09. I really wanted the denim black, but decided on this due to the $$$ deal the dealer threw my way. At any rate, I'm pretty committed to the bike with all the cash that I've already put into it:
Stage 1
Tru Duals - Freedom Performance
PC V
PM Grips
C&C seat
Chopped TP
Vented lowers
13" Cyclesmith apes
Haven't gone down the heavy motor mods route yet. I'm really tossing the idea around of upgrading to the HD 120R motor. My dealer just installed one in a new Ultra..... that thing sounds fast....it produced 137 at the rear wheel - saw it with my own eyes!
