Is that a Mustang seat and backrest?

Pulled the DK customs intake and catch can system that was on the bike when I bought it because I thought it had an issue. Turns out it was just installed wrong, but I like the look of the big sucker better so it’s staying.

Decided the Standards tank graphics were a little too subtle,

Put the Defiance axle nut covers on the front wheel. Small, I know, but I LOVE that Defiance Collection, I want to slowly add on as much of those easy bolt-on trims as I can. Pegs, passenger pegs, maybe even the engine covers at some point. People say it's cheesy, the easy bolt on chrome, but it's fun, and not many other bike makers give you the options Harley does to add little bits of extra to their bikes.

DUDE, where did you get those emblems? I was looking everywhere for them, even checking bike-to-bike at the HD dealership yesterday lol. I may be trading my tank to my brother soon, and he's going to give me his Standard tank. I was planning on finding the chrome emblem version of the painted Standard decals to go over them. (I'd rather use different emblems, but not sure if they'd cover the painted decals...)

Took the wheels off to get new tires mounted tomorrow. I'm getting internal bluetooth TPMS sensors installed while I'm at it.

I'll be sticking with the Dunlop Elite 4's. I've got just shy of 23k miles on the front and I've been getting about 13k miles out of the last two rears.

At the Harley dealer of course

Showing out of stock in the US at the moment

Perhaps ask 'monkey boy' to track them down for you.

There appear to be people on ebay, buying these from a dealer then sticking them on ebay and asking outrageous prices for them, just so you know. Don't bother with the adaptor plates either. I thought the adaptors would be easy to shape and the badge would be tricky. It turned out that it's impossible to do compound curves with the adaptors, but no problem with the badges themselves. Plus the fit of the badges to the adaptors is pretty crap as well.

Bike looks great without the plumbing, red and chrome.
