front fender
it is a RWD fender but I'm only running a 90/90-21 out front... as for new pics just fitted up a buds bike with a heartland 250 kit, hands down the easiest kit and one of the best companies I've worked with, unfortunately gopartsdirect.com went belly up so the pipes and handlebars didn't show up before i had to move but ill be posting pics soon.

Latest Mods
Hi, here are some pictures of the latest changes to my '08 Standard. The photos aren't great, but I was in a hurry to show someone . I concentrated on the back end this time and added;
Harley custom sidekick seat with cremator stitching (flamed skull)
Chrome Solid Disk Forged Wheel
Reaper Billet Sprocket (to match the front wheel)
Chrome Lower Belt Guard
Profile Low Rear Suspension
So far I'm very happy with the changes. The sidekick seat seems to sit me just a little further back and down, and I find it very comfortable, with more of a backstop for my butt than the standard seat, and I think it leans up the look of the back of the bike.
The wheel and sprocket I'm very happy with the look of...I decided against the reaper wheel because the look of it seems to get lost among all the stuff back there, whereas the solid wheel has more impact. I remembered to get chrome bolts for the sprocket, and chrome wheel spacers, but forgot little details like the wheel weights and axle adjusters. I'm going to add those once I decide on what disk rotor to use.
The profile shocks lowered the bike to where I wanted it looks-wise, and seems just as compliant as the standard ones. However I do notice that I scrape my pegs earlier now, and the bike feels like it tracks more nervously in corners (or maybe that's just me and I need to get used to it). It also is more difficult to hold the lowered bike up with my legs while I dig around for my pass at work or whatever. But then I never thought lowering was a practical matter Has anyone found that lowering the front fixes the handling back to normal?
