Finally!
Just got my first Harley, Finally! Had a few metric bikes and bobbed them out real nice and clean, but sold the last one on a mission to cross over. Got an '09 sporty that is bone stock now, but not for long. I got big plans so expect to hear a lot from me in the way of "HELP?"
Some mods I will do right away and could use tips on where to find good parts are...
springer seat, with bolt on kit if I can, or?
swap to forward controls
rear fender bobbed, either fab the old one or get a new one, cut fender rails, maybe remove springs and get some struts so I can run that rear fender nice and tight!
remove baffles from the screaming eagles, not usre if I need to replace with new one or just go without
relocate the license plate to side mount
replace all turn signals with bullets
replace brake with side mount 33 replica, or?
debadge, de-sticker, and maybe take the thing off the tank, dont know what you call it.
relocate ecm, power command, ignition, horn, and what ever else I can to clean it up
take off as much extra junk as I can, belt guard, front fender, fender rail covers, etc...
Mods in the winter...
go to chain drive and a 200 or bigger rear wheel
run some nice fat bobber tires
new rear fender wider for new rear tire
new bars, prob 4" riser or so with drag bars, depends where the stance ends up
internal wiring, maybe if I can figure it out
prob paint since I will have to paint the rear fender anyway, thing about matte army green.
would like to powder coat motor or else buy all the wrinkle black parts to replace pieces. rather powder coat all the pieces tho and go with a different color, not sure yet
and who knows what else, that is why I love this little scoot, the possibilities are endless? ideas, tips, and advice welcome!
