Default Finished..For Now

Electra Glide STANDARD, This is the way a STANDARD should look.

Well it is pretty much done…You know 90% complete, 90% to go! No leaks, drips or unusual knocks. It took 3 weeks from start to finish but I am really happy with the way it turned out. A few of the things I did were:
Chrome Front Sliders/Cow Bells
Chrome Controls
Retro Radio Install
Chrome Engine Package
Custom Painted Tank
Custom Seat
Floorboards
Floating Rotors
Automatic Primay Chain Adjuster
Cruise Control
Lowered Rear Shocks
True Duals
And a few other things…

I am working on a Chopped Tour Pack, making brackets to move it back a few inches. Should have that finished in a week or so. Also waiting on the custom backrest to be finished to match the seat

Here is a partial list of the vendors I used:
Kuryakyn
S&S
Drag Specialties
HD
BikeTronics
C&C Seats
Lyndall
Gordon’s
Progressive
Porker
B&E Superflows


I did all the work myself with the exception of the Custom Painted Tank and the Seat Work. It was a lot of fun but am ready to get back ridding. I’ll post more pics when the Tour Pack is done.
