Bleche-Wite and brillo pad brought back the pearly whites, even on that tire!
See I can locate a photo of the whitewalls...
Added another what I did with the tag and rear lighting. 6-7 years back, kept a few pics.

The front fender is from Klockwerks the rear is from Torch industries.

I wanted steel fenders that were stronger than factory. Glad I went that way because I have scraped my rear fender twice already.

I’m running a shotgun shock in the rear with almost no bump stop and 2” drop progressives upfront.

Should have added that the photo of the tag/rear lights were for someone who inquired how to do it, where to get the kit.
That Deluxe was modded, from the eye candy to a stage 2, within the first few months of ownership. A twinkie, yes, but a nice twinkie...lulz

Nothing wrong with a Twinkie. Mine is an 02. Had an 05, 08, 11, and a 16.

Changed the concho rosettes from black to red. Adds a little more color.

Not today, but yesterday... got my frame back on wheels and the remaining parts bagged, labeled, boxed and put up in the storage shed. Still waiting to get my new tank and then fix the last ****-poor paint work for a fresh, proper paintjob. Hate having my bike in "basket-case" status but fixing phuk ups properly takes time and I need my shop space for other projects, as winter is upon us. Also going to get Dad's Honda-Chopper setup for winter storage in my shed this afternoon, so he can use his for projects too.

Default Added some Harley bling:)

Harley Dominion grips and black anodized bezel.

Bought black screws for under the bezel but the thread may be wrong.Didn't wanna go hand screwing in so didn't force it of course.

Love how these turned out.I found the clutch housing a pita to line up in order to get the switch housing screws to 'happily' go home.

I bought a new HD battery for my Heritage. This is the first OEM replacement battery I bought in probably 15 years. It was much easier for me to go to NAPA or oreilleys and grab one since the closest dealer is an hour away, but since I was passing through that area, I decided to stop by and get one.
