Hi guys,
been lurking for a couple weeks now and figured this thread was as good as any to introduce myself .. I purchased my first bike, 2009 Super Glide with around 5000 miles on it, at the 1st of the month and have already turned that into over 6000
Only a few small touches so far... more to come of coarse . The 1st one came about because a unknown douche-bag decided to vandalize my nice shiny bike and scratch up the clutch cover real real good lol. I pulled it and sanded out the scratches and used some high temp paint to black it out then fixed on this nice little stainless emblem. Thanks Douche-bag - I like it better this way lmao. You can see some scuff marks on the case above and behind the shifter. I honestly dunno if that was the douche-bag or scuffs from my boots :/
While I was at it I relocated the horn. Used a crappy universal horn and mounted it under the battery box (thanks mud :P). Then used this nice little metal poker chip I snagged at my HD Dealer to cover the old mount. I just striped the rubber away with a razor (it tore while trying to remove it) and used some heavy 2 sided tape like body shops use for tailgate badges and the like to stick it.
Wide shot showing the 2 small touches
Added some throw overs.. Here she is all dressed and polished for a night on the town
Nothing to shout about but its a start Blacking out the battery box or maybe stealing the battery box bag Idea is probably next. Ah, and aux lighting .. Eventually a AC cover to match the clutch cover. Then who knows lol.
Happy thanksgiving!!
