LED front and rear lighting, Dirty Air rear end air ride with the upgraded shocks. Replaced the quick release bag latches for the 2017 screw on latches. Lots of other chrome add ons here and there. Plans are to swap on the 4.5 Mufflers and add some Samson fishtail cholos, lower the front end or rake it and replace the 21 with a 23 Ride Wright Fat 50 spoke. Still undecided, I like it where its at now to be honest.https://www.hdforums.com/forum/attac...-king-fall.jpg

long time away

I finally found my way back to this site . . . away too long. added quite a few new things: chrome forks and -1 lowered Progressive suspension, horsehide dash insert, conchos and saddle strings, short Pingel kickstand, clear lenses, german headlamp, derby cover, visors, etc.. I'll post some higher quality photos soon.

Can you recall how you rigged the passing lamps? It looks like film over the lenses; the tribars are also something I'd like to find.

The post is over a year old but if you can help I'd appreciate it.

Nice retro look, btw.
