Default Mods....round 2

As some may know I had some issues with my monotubes and had to rip my front end back apart. Well, y'all know how that goes: "hmmm, as long as I've got it apart I might as well............."
So I wound up painting the inner fairing, had the gauge & radio illumination turned blue (by Marty on this forum) then shaved the rivets off the front fender and leveled it.
Added 12" Monkey bars (PITA!), Vance & Hines Dresser Duals, 4" Rineharts, black levers (to match their surroundings) and black cables.
Good news is that the front end issue is resolved (thanks Progressive Suspension & Eastern Performance!!) and the bike handles great, the bars fit me very well and the dual exh along with the Rineharts have my bike sounding like a Harley should!
Bonus: I was able to do the whole thing for almost no cash, had some bike parts and 1/2 a Honda Accord I was able to horsetrade with
Some crappy cell phone pics:

Not paying for parts is AWESOME.

I plan on cleaning up the back end but will be doing something more like what I did to a buddy's Roadking a few years back. Welded up all the holes and then welded and molded in a Wernimont steel fender ext/filler panel (it's sold as a "bolt-on assembly). Here's a pic of the Roadking back end I did. (that's all steel)

I can't believe that no one has commented on that surgical room you call a garage!

Someday I hope mine looks as clean.

Really nice work there Texas, I like the idea of the all stuff parts when you can. Who's bags did you use on your buddy's bike? aslways looking around to see what is cost effective.

What can I say, I like my stuff clean. Plenty of comments were made: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...the-glide.html

Just added the Matco tool box you can see in one of the pics. Painted to match (custom mix gray with flat clear) my cabinets.

Topshop bags, they're on this forum. Very nice stuff, I was impressed with the quality. May use a set on mine down the road.
