Good now you can afford to end that auction early on my Low profile console and lemme have it at my current bid.

You'll be happy with the ride the inverted forks give you. I wouldn't own another Softail without them.

Oh, and both Outlaw Cycles and Ness make extended headlight brackets.

Story,
Did you make the tank lift yourself or did you buy it? How much of a lift is it inch wise?
No I didn't make it... I got the tank lift from a friend on here "Randy" and it's an adjustable one... 2" or 3" but i have it at 2"... 3" is just way to high you can see everything under the tank... Some peeps like it some don't so it's really about what you like. Keep in mind your gas gauge will show less gas then you have after the tank lift. Watch the cross over hose when or if you do it... a 3rd hand will save you from loosing a lot of gas...

jcmer....nice ride...going to look great lowered...you might want to lower the front to and put gloss black front lowers on while you got the tubes apart....

ok anyone....they are cracking down on sidemount license plates in my area..$1000.00 fine. I don't have the bread for a tri-bar, so, anyone that has a tri-bar and still has their stock brake/license plate bracket for the 200mm tire that they want to sell cheap, please PM me.
thanks

Here's a couple pics with the solo seat I just installed. Its an HD brawler if anyone cares. Also a pic of my cheapy spacers. They're not much but they get the job done.
Looks awesome man! Same fender I put on mine last summer, can't beat the price. I got some raw aluminum spacers off eBay and machined one side of them to match the contour on the inner side of the lower fork tubes before having those and the fender painted. I snapped some quick pics of my set-up after I got home from riding today...

I am just waiting on a skull horn cover that is on back order right now, and the bike will finally be where I want it...or so I thought. While I was at the local tint/decal shop today to check out one of my friend's new bike, the local airbrush artist took notice of my train. They said that they had been looking for a bike like mine and offered to do some custom airbrushing on it, I would just have to bring them my tins and cover the cost of the supplies. They would like to do a locomotive design down the sides of the tank, but with a skull at the front of the train, I'm guessing similar to the design that Harley offered a while back with their "skull train" paint set. I have seen a lot of their work, so I know the quality is there, but I'm not sure if the custom paint is the way I want to go with this. I think it would be a sick design, but I also like the look of my plain black tins. Plus it would just be an excuse to buy a streched tank = more $$$. What do you guys think?
