Default New from Vancouver BC!

So! This is my first post here on the forum...

I'm Rik Van Egdom, live in Langley BC, Canada, and I've been riding for years. I've always been a forum junkey when it comes to my cars, never really thought of looking into an HD forum.

My first Harley was a 2004 883 Sportster Custom.


Very little was done to this one.
badlander seat
drag pipes
drag bars
frenched headlight
laydown license plate bracket

And now for today's ride....

2006 FXDB Street Bob - With tons done












Mod List:
Front fender delete
Forks pulled apart and powder coated trees and lowers
Black gators added
Front wheel de-laced and powder coated red (rim and hub)
3" black risers
16" custom "Z Bars"
Stock HD hand controls powder coated red
Billet aluminum grips (solid aluminum nurled finish)
Black brake and clutch levers
Black HD mirrors
Stainless steel braided brake, clutch and throttle cables
Gas tank de-badged
Blown glass velocity stack
Custom 1 off hand made leather seat
Vance and Hines "Shorty" pipes
Outlaw forward controls
Progressive lowering shocks
Rear wheel de-laced and powder coated red (rim and hub)
Screamin Eagle fat tire kit (180)
Custom manufactured 1 off rear fender
Maltese cross side mount license plate bracket
Red screamin eagle plug wires
Rear strut covers powder coated black
Front turn signals deleted
Rear turn signal strut replaced with 2009 strut (powder coated black)
Rear turn signal powder coated black
Smoked turn signal lens

Power Commander and dyno tuning (68 rwhp, 79 rwtq)

So yah, that's about it for that one!

And the last pic - my daily driver. 2007 Jeep Unlimited Rubicon

Thanks man. I've always been a huge fan braided lines. If you're doing it yourself just remember to keep the plastic sleeve on the lines if you ride your bike more than once or twice a month. It'll protect all of your finishes from the stainless line - they destroy painted and finished surfaces....
