Taking your Harley From Stock to Custom Bagger...
I am so pumped about turning my 2010 street glide into a custom bagger.... Last year when I bought my bike, I changed out the exhaust with Vance & Hines, put 13" Cyclesmith bars on, Screaming Eagle big bore 103 with a stage 1 Screaming Eagle air cleaner. I put a chrome front end on and changed out my floorboards, mirrors and controls. It was nice, but was still not what I was looking for. I finally committed and ordered everything I had been wanting to do. New 4" stretched rear Bad Dad fender, stretched shaved Bad Dad saddlebags, stretched Paul Yaffe Bagger Nation tank, and Lepera barebones solo seat. 21" front and 18" rear custom PM Wrath wheels. A 2" lowering kit and suspension for the front end, VH throttlepac, and fuelpac, Kenwood stereo and speakers. New gauges and bezels and lots of other accessories to dress it up.. It took about 2 months, but here is the final pics...

Man I loved the "idea" of that paint job
Unfortunately my painter failed pretty bad on it. I've seen it a couple other times done right and it looks sick!
Looking forward to seeing pics of yours finished!

I am so pumped about the trasformatiion of my 2010 street glide into a custom bagger.... Last year when I bought my bike, I changed out the exhaust with Vance and Hines, put 12" chubby bars on, upgraded the engine to a 103 with a first stage. I put a chrome front end on and changed out my floorboards, mirrors and levers. It was nice, but was still not what I was looking for. last week, I made the comitment and ordered everything I had been dreaming of. New stretched fenders, bags, and gas tank shroud. 21" front and 18" rear custom PM Wrath wheels. An air ride rear suspension, and a lowering kit for the front end. As soon as it all gets here, it goes out for paint with subtle kandy brandywine ghost flames. New stereo and lots of other little things to dress it up.. I cannot belive how excited I am about this project. I will continue to add pictures during the process.
