Default 07 883C - Wife Designed w/ pics

The wife's bike fell on my bike in the trailer on the way home from our trip to the Dragon. I told her now is your chance to change it up a little, so here is what we did with her design...the best part is we did all the work ourselves. This website is very helpful and much appreciated... It's very cool to see how proud she is of HER bike.

chopped the rear fender - eliminated brake light/tag with run/turn/brake module
painted fenders and tank pearl white
welded up custom sidemount tag holder

Still waiting on new tank badges and LED plate surround light.

Before -



Today -

Looks good man. Now she should get those pipes powder coated white or get the chrome shields on them.

Where did you get the swingarm bag? Does it fit with the rear pegs installed? Thanks

Thanks all..

The swingarm bag came from Garage Leathers and we took off the passenger pegs. Can't remember if the pegs had to come off or not. I'll go look.
