I picked up my bike from the shop today.

I'm absolutely satisfied with the modifications. Only downside is the paint job which shows a clearly visible orange peel effect at both sides of the fender. Definitely something to discuss with the guys at the shop on Monday.

So far I have experienced no negative effects of the lowering kit that has been installed, but I think that I will raise the tail by 0.5 inches for a better look.

I used the last rays of sunshine today to take some quick shots. Hope you like the results as much as I do.

Going to paint the whole bike, put a spring solo seat, open primary, chop the rear fender some more, and eventually put a smaller gas tank on without the console and maybe a springer front end.

Are those one of their "stock" pipe sets they make, or were those bent up for you? Can you still use passenger peg? They look real nice. THanks.

Just added some black rocker box covers,I should have waited for the tank to be on empty other than that it was a easy install.

Here's mine. Got her back from Barnyard Customs late last week. They made a fabulous rack - just the way I wanted it. Only other thing I'm planning to do is the riser for the handlebars.
