Haven't done a while lot to it yet other than the apes and the headlight visors. Eventually I want to black out the front end and highway bars and get some fishtails put on her.

Love the fishtails ! How far do they stick out past the rear fender? I'm looking into getting a set myself.

The fishtails are Bassani 36 inch model bolted to stock HD head pipes. The tips of the pipes are about 7 inch beyond the bottom end of the rear fender. Pipes and chrome are great quality and I ordered them with baffles. Quite loud even with the baffles so I keep off the throttle in and around town. Had to remap my PCV after install of the pipes. Had some decell popping with the new pipes but that is gone now with the new mapping.
