I'll post one up with the new bars and the goofy windshield off. The windshield is off 95% of the time anyway.

There are certain colors that pop on RKC's and Suede Blue is one of them. Nice bike, looking forward to more pictures.

Default FLHR Remake
I took this 1997 FLHRI and had a brandywine candy color put on. Added a daymaker headlight, LED lights everywhere, a few chrome pieces, white wall tires, purchased a fire engine red tour pack had it painted to match, luggage rack, tour pack organizer, drop in liner. It already had a Andrew v72 cam and a vance and hines 2 into 1 pipe. That's all that I can think of for right now. Rides great!
