It's all one piece.

Attached are some pics. Done for now but I will have to purchase new tires pretty soon, Damn it never ends!
Your bike looks good, I like your mods. They are different, but that's what I like about it. (suggestion; paint your chrome windshield bracket black)

Just bought it, and bone stock except for exhaust installed by dealer. For all you guys who removed passenger pillion, is it difficult to do without removing rear tire? Doesn't seem like there'd be really easy access under the fender?

Unless it changed from 2010 to 2011, the passenger pillion comes over by removing the thumbscrew on the back, then slide it backwards.. but then you're gonna have some ugliness by the hinge on the main seat..

Bike looks great gnatty! I seriously went back and forth between the white and the silver for months before I pulled the trigger. I also thought about getting those rush pipes too but instead got the V&H slip ons. Seems like you are doing the things I was having second thoughts on... You are probably going to go with some drag bars too aren't you? I just picked up everything for my apes not too long ago (haven't started working on them yet) but I was seriously considering drag bars instead.

And like Sgt said, the seat comes off easy and you do have some ugly stuff off of the driver's seat then, but you can always pick up the fender bib... runs about $60 from the dealership and looks good.

thanks guys, I'll check dealership for the bib and order one if they don't have any in stock.. I think I am going to keep the bars as is. I have a 2010 Street Bob for when I want to scratch that mini-apes itch, and I really like the profile of the bars on there now. For me, the white denim hit the spot, even though dealer had silver and black on the floor as well. I love the Rush pipes, fantastic sound. Here's my other bikes:

i got the drop in kit installed yesterday! so far im happy with it, rides a bit rough but looks badass IMO... i wish i had a shotgun, but as they say, wish in one hand and you know what in the other...

Also, interesting comment from a local shop here in Houston... The guy did awesome work on installing the kit, and when i picked the bike up he said "dude, dont take this the wrong way but, the bike looks badass but its got ZERO *****!" he told me to get rid of the fuelpak and get a PC-V with a dyno. he said he worked for harley and SERT is crapola compared to PC-V... good god, there are some many opinions when it comes to this... WHYYYYYY!!!!!
