Default Few bucks to spend??

Hey guys,

I sold some stuff and have about $500-$600 I want to spend on some new mods. I don't have pics yet but I just changed my bars and risers as well as picking up a Mustang seat for longer trips. My engine mods are done for the time being. All I have left to do is head work. I was thinking of doing the Progressive rear shocks and lowering springs for the front.

Anyone have other suggestions. I have about 3 weeks before I go to the Thunder beach rally in Panama City Beach. I'm open to lots of ideas. I included side pics of my Lo below.

Brutus your sled is looking bad *** and is looking killer! As much as I'd like to help you spend your money not sure there's much more you need in the eye candy area. thinking what you've mentioned would be about it since your air is down the road. Sweet sled brother!

Black out them front forks! I am working on mine now and I think that is really the only thing I can see that I would change on your bike. It's looking great. Other possibilities include wrinkle black PC your upper rocker boxes and primary cover. You could actually get the forks, upper rocker boxes and primary cover powder coated all for less than $500... Just a thought...

I tend to agree, you look good to go for now. Put the money away for future mods. Before long you'll have your own ideas of some mods you want to make.

What about getting the matching visored lenses for the turn signals to match the headlight? You can do front and rear, i know the black part numbers are: 73342-09 and 73343-09, idk the chrome ones..point is, the black ones aren't FLSTFB listed to fit, but they do because they're a generic turn signal.. that'll only take about $75 out of your 500. And I don't know how the black lowers would look on your bike, since you're not a blacked-out guy like the rest of us.. the way they are now looks fine.. and as ive said in serveral different threads now, the 422s feel great under my *** if you wanted to go that route.. or even try the 422 RAPs and be able to switch them without having to crawl under the bike..
