Just about finished with my KZ750, and the whole time i've been working on it, i've been craving a HD. So today I bit the bullet and went out to the dealer. Got myself an 09 XL883L with 600 miles for what I feel is a pretty good price. Haven't picked it up yet, so no pics (not that anyone wants to see a stock girls bike anyway). Its going to get a 1250 kit and some other things, Not a ton of stuff, as this is going to be my daily and I dont wanna rip too much in to it while making payments still. But I am crazy excited.

here are some pics of it. I know its nothing thread worthy, but I am extremely happy with my purchase.

when I picked it up.







Made a few sets of bars and tried em out, including a pair of Keystones



and finally ended up running these. I'll probably change em again, just because making handlebars is fun.



then I made a quick sissy bar to strap stuff to. I am for sure going to remake this with thicker stock on the sides before I trust it to act as a passenger backrest.



here it is with the most recent bars installed and a turn signal relocation



I really hated that stock license plate bracket, so I made this for the lower shock mount yesterday





I also installed a set of Cycle shack slip ons somewhere in there.

I am still planning on removing the front fender and some fork gaitors, and I am debating doing the tank lift/coil/ign relocate kit.
