Default Vicla build...what am I missing?

Here we are after promising myself I wouldn't spend any more money on toys.... I'm sure you all can relate... Bike is a 08 Deluxe.....Been picking away at it trying to reach that vicla look, and after all of the things I've done to it, I still feel like there's something missing? I'm not sure what, just know there's something,chrome Swingarm? Chrome neck and tubes? Saddlebag guards? Shotgunshock ? any suggestions? Opinions?


Installed Samson 36" last night along with a 21" 60 spoke front wheel... Pipes were timw
Consuming but overall not terrible, I had to ditch the inner primary chrome cover in order for the pipe to fit which I'm not too happy about... Had a hand made pair of belts to hold the blanket in place. Buddy of mine does amazing custom leather work and is super reasonable with his prices. If anyone is interested in any leather work I'll share his info. Gun/knife holsters, belts, saddlebags etc.....

-Springer saddlebag guards
-Tool box on right side
-Sterling Chromite cables by Magnum
-Needs more chrome!
-Peel the black sticker on your dash off, the black does not flow into the chrome lower piece you have

And I am interested in a set of belts to hold a blanket on my deluxe, would need them in black though. PM me w/info.

Sometimes all you need is a different set of eyes... Sticker will be coming off asap and I'll get my hands on saddlebag guards and a tool box.... How does the heritage front/rear fender rails mount on deluxes? I don't want to drill my tins.... And he makes them to order so you two can go over what you want... I'll pm you his info.

Can you ditch the leather cover behind the seat?

How long have you been waiting for the Samson exhaust to come in? I'm already a few weeks into my wait for 39's

Yea, the fender bib is there just to cover the back seat holes, I'm thinking of putting the chrome luggage rack back on.... As far as the pipes go I got mine in 3 days
