Great bike. Very well put together.
Those are pretty cool too, I have not seen those. They would look cool but the grips are a pita to keep clean, I can only imagine the difficulties in trying to keep white pegs clean....that being said I might order two sets lol.

Yes, fuel range is my only complaint with this bike. I have already looked into buying an iron tank but Harley does not sell the Hardcandy flake paint. I even went so far as talking to a high end street rod shop about matching the paint and they said it would be a difficult task. I really love the stock paint and to be honest the paint is what drew me to the bike in the showroom. I will probably end up doing the tank and a custom flake paintjob next winter.

nah, wouldn't worry about the fuel range, nothing wrong with stopping every couple hours for gas.

Lol, I wish I could go a couple hours on a tank. An hour, hour ten minutes tops on the expressway at 75mph.

yeah... about what, 70-80 miles? I don't think the sportsters were designed for the highway lol. Oh well...

I bet. Your bike is special because of the color. It's a bummer if the color couldn't be matched. That's the true bummer.

I just ordered the white front and passenger pegs along with the white toe shifter peg....looks like I will be using the bleachwhite whitewall cleaner on more than just my tires. Thanks again for pointing these out to me.

No problem.

Let's see some updated pics when you get those on the bike.

My dealer didn't have them in stock, they told me 3-4 days. I will post up some photos as soon as they arrive and get installed. While I was at the dealer I picked up the H-D chrome upper shock mount trim caps(what a rip off lol), chrome fender strut mounting bolts and chrome lower shock mount bolts, the dull stainless or whatever the stock bolts are was bothering me.
