Bike is filthy because of rains, but getting a little closer to a finished product. For now anyway.

 

/\ /\ /\ cool!

 

Made some more modifications to my bike. Moved the stock switches, biltwell 8" bars, took sandpaper to the covers and gave it a brushed metal look.

Old mods: RSD rear fender, Haifley Bros Sissy Bar, No School Choppers license plate with Storm Trooper tail light, 21x3.5 front wheel (which required a new PM caliper), Burly Brand lowering kit for front shock (down 1"), Headlight from FXDB (street bob)... headlight required me cutting and beating the **** out of the air dam/fairing thingy on the forks.
Oh and my dremel engraved Darth Vader primary cover... I'm pretty happy with how that came out.

 

are you leaving the covers like this?

 

Yeah, I think so. I like the look of it. Took this while changing Primary fluid, so that cover is already back on.

EDIT: might take a dremel with sanding disk to it to get a more uniform swirl pattern.

Please, words and pics of the switch relocation!

 

Created a thread about it here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...-switches.html

I kept the switches in their stock config, created backing brackets from two strips of sheet metal, bent those to conform to the backside of the switches, drilled holes in top and bottom for bolts to secure everything, and the finishing touch was the switches to brackets with some of that superstrength velcro (the 10lb kind).
Works great, have put on about 1000 miles since and absolutely no worries.

I'll go back and revise with more detail on the other thread when I get a chance.

 

What color is that? My 2013 Candy Orange Street Bob often came out like that in photos. People always thought it was red.

 

It is Ember Red Sunglo, so it is very red with a gold pearl in it. The ladies seem to love it. I actually wanted a black or charcoal color, but the red has really grown on me. I have a night pic that shows the color better but it is hard to see a bit. The sun always brings out the pearl more.

 

one more maybe shows the color better. It turns out different in almost every picture, sorry for the bike whoring.
