Thanks guy im pretty excited. I was able to sell my 08 Night Train and have a good amount of money left over after buying this one. So finacially i am right where i wanted to be. Trying to do a budget built. Got brembo calipers for $100 with pads and factory lines and a 18" Contrast chrome Agitator front wheel with floating rotors and a good tire for $450 both off craigslist.

No, I'm not going back to the original colors. Black and Silver 100th bike imho were one of the best looking anniversary bike but they arent really unique or special as there were so many of them. Its going to stay flat black probalby for a while. If i was to do any color change it would probably be to pewter denim. But for now i like the flat black. It will be getting some sort of tank emblems but trying to figure out what, as it looks a little to plain to me.

This just keeps gettin better. I got a set of street glide front turn signals for $80 when i installed them i found out my fairing speakers are already upgraded to hogtunes. I was able to trade some parts i had sitting around for a street glide rear fender and street glide passenger foot pegs.

I bought an agitator front wheel, with rotors and tire used then went to the Stealer to get 25mm axle spacers and bearings. Bought Brembo calipers off craigslist for $100, then today found a 09 master cylinder and lever for $35.

Im loving this already and only got one right in that was 10 min at 35 degrees to get it home. Can't wait till spring
