LOL... I think we were waiting for the list of mods as well

How do you like the seat? What brand is that?

I see some highway pegs in front of the floorboards? Can you share closer photos? What are those?

Bike is looking great, just share some more details man!

The seat is a Mustang wide vintage solo, with back rest. Very nice and comfy. Backrest is superb! Your arms and back get the day off.

The pegs on my foot boards are my cruiser bars inventin. Nice and small, but enough for your heals to rest on, or over. Made from re-bar and heater hose.

Had all the hardware for wind splitter shield powder coated black.

Shifter and rear brake lever powder coated.

OK, I'll bite. Where's the rear brake arm and pedal?

You noticed the very obscure. It is waiting for the new nylon bushings that were melted during powder coating. As per usual, Harley did not have them in stock. Have to wait a week.

THought I was seeing things. If you ever decide to replace the brake arm again, the one from Softbrake comes with metal bushings and a grease fitting. I prefer the lower angle as well, but that is personal preference.

i almost ordered one, but found the owner very confusing on the phone. The site isn't much better. I was having everything else powder coated, so I threw the brake lever in. I agree the stock pedal height is all wrong. What model lever did you order?

I talked with the owner (Rick) on the phone for a while to be sure I ordered the correct parts. I ended up ordering the SB-002-BK (normal reach, lowered brake arm) along with all the shifter parts to black out that side also. I was pretty shocked at the difference in the shift linkage arm (SB-SLA-ST) and the stock one.

Definitely call and talk to Rick if you are going to order to be sure you get the right parts. And then if you don't he will remember you and make it right. He told me straight up that he does not do email or texts at all but is available by phone almost 7 days a week.

These have been around for a while, though recently dropped in price.
Alloy Art, sold in lots of places.
Cleans the bars up, allows room for heated grips.
