Default 2020 softail standard almost murdered...

so it's almost done. i had to take a break because it's riding season & i just want to ride the bike...lol
blacked out both sides of the engine last month.

if i love the bike and decide to keep it after the summer, i'll probably black out the fork. & i already have a new set of 16" x 1 1/4" black apes sitting in my garage.

i didnt black out the pegs or mid controls yet because i'm going to see if i can get used to the mids position before i change them out for forwards...
i rode yesterday for a couple of hundred miles, still getting used to them lol

i had the seat custom made by "mothers road customs" using the original sat pan. i also have a new CC motorcycles fastback seat i have to put on and try...i'll do update's on the new seat when i get a chance...

So the handlebars are comfortable, i'm riding 35 years now, on all different style harley's..that being said, i'm used to drag bars, or 16" apes. so these bars are a little too comfortable, like stock road king bars. lol

i'll see how i like the mid controls,i have always had floorboards or foward controls. after the summer and putting some miles on the bike i'll figure out if i want to keep them, or switch out for fowards.. i ride way too relaxed, comfortable and laid back on the bike now. i dont feel mean and cool, if anyone understands what i mean by that... lol

I like the look of the stock tapered pipes...
I just ordered a pair of American Custom pipes for my Heritage to swap with my obnoxious Neighbor Haters mufflers...
goog classic look and nice rumble...
