Here's my 99 FLHRC.It's complete with 3.5 stretched bags from Top Shop and a Bad Dad stretched fender.The bars are WO 518 and sit me further back in the Mustang Seat when I have the back rest in.Very comfortable on those 500+ mi. days especially with the hi way pegs.The back rest ( not in picture) for my wife is stock harley and fits over the wide fender with Bad Dads hardware.
Other features include chrome lower legs, Billet 24 LED license plate frame (lower picture)& custom grips .The bike has also been lowered about an inch.

I love the 180 rear on the newer bikes, but it limits the WWW options aftermarket for sure. And I guess the Dunlop D407's are only sold to Dealers....my local bike shops can't even order them ( catalog says call local harley dealer to order these) I've been getting 13k out of each set of tires on my classic ( on my third set now) but just poked a hole in my back tire with some rebar on the way to work Wednesday...so shopping for a new WWW rear...180/65/16...if anyone knows of a better option than the dunlops I'm open to suggestion. I'm all about miles, I ride alot. I was tempted to just plug it cause these new tires only have 3k miles on them....but it's a BIG hole and I guess I'm getting old ( safe).

The $19 HD ones, like these? They're pretty sweet, just watch your blind spots.

Yup that's them, they look great! I love how they don't have the "object appear smaller" bs written on them.

Yeah, I always always always turn my head to look in my blindspots, even when I drive the cage I do that.

Yeah, these are nice, but the blind spots are very noticable, but like you say, just turn the ol' melon. LOL.

The round mirrors look pretty good!

Update pics of mine. Mods so far are passenger floorboard covers, generic round highway pegs, vance & hines fishtails, red turn signals out back, and I just added the S&S air cleaner. Pretty happy so far.
