Man I dig those gold rims....

Where in Europe are you? I see the sign in the background and can't make it out..

 

He's from Vladivostok (East Coast of Russia) according to his profile banner above his post.

 

Honestly didn't feel like googling it... Kind of get more from small conversation...
Sort of like Yow? Never heard of it.

 

Meh...no worries...I get the reduced effort thing (it was easier to put in Airport Identifier (YOW) than Ottawa and is sometimes strikes up convo. I already knew what it was...also name of the former Soviet Naval Base (including their Pacific Nuke Sub Fleet) that was named after the nearby city. I was in an West Coast Anti-Sub Warfare Maritime Patrol Sqn and their boomers we used to hunt came out of Vlad.

Cheers,
Harm.

 

Ahhh..... Might have almost been fun for a kid during the cold War days like The American bases were for the brats... Uncle Sam blew up some nice stuff! And the planes and helo's were fun to romp around in...

 

hey
it is not gold, it is stock FXDLS colour - something like baby's poo. I want to powdercoat rims with bronze or gold later.

Vladivostok. East coast of Russia. 500 miles from Japan.

 

Posting this in case anyone is interested in doing the same to their M8 Softail (specifically 2019 Street Bob). The bike has a lot of upgrades/mods (too lazy to list them all) but my most recent is the installation of IMZZ Elite's FXRT fairing and lowers. It's not perfect but overall I am happy with the end result. Hope this provides some inspiration and/or ideas.

 

I have a MS Batwing on my 06 Super Glide and have adjusted it many times and can't get rid of the buffeting, do vents help
