New Saddlemen Step up seat and Motherwell sissy bar. Had to make the wife a bit more comfy.

[QUOTE=gthmnyt2580;19868051]I decided to add a touch of color to the rims. The tape is reflective too, but have yet to test it out. I'm glad I went with a "Ruby Red" because the regular red would have definitely been too red.

Here's the BEFORE.....



And now the AFTER...





That red tape looks great! Where do you get it? Did it come pre cut, or did you do it yourself?

That's a job well done right there with the rim tape, does that bullet fairing do anything?

Smile Upgraded Suspension on 2019 Low Rider

Completed 100 miles SAG setting after installation of complete upgraded suspension. Upgrade lowered seat height of my 2019 Softail 1", eliminated excessive brake dive, and improved handling and comfort. See my post on Technical & Mechanical Form for detail explanation of the difficulties of choosing an upgraded suspension.

Nice write up, Jim, very well done.

I feel like I'm slacking, only thing I've done recently was adjust the rear brake lever and I haven't even ridden it since doing that.

After clear and looking at different pinstripe options, I went with gold to set the colors off. Bike is moving along.

Thanks!. I got it off of Amazon. The kit comes pre cut in multiple strips. Be sure to order 2 packs since 1 pack covers about a wheel and a half for the 16 inch rims. Here's the link:

Thanks! I love the bullet fairing and it works for me. I'm 5' 8" and it definitely cuts just enough of the wind off my chest area. I also do sit slightly lower also due to the Le Pera seat vs. the stock seat so that helps too.

Spring has arrived, so I took her out for a longer ride.

The usual first things. Exhaust, grips, levers, and pegs/mini-boards.
