Default New Vinyl Tank Wrap

Decided against the Scallops for now, but I threw a couple asymmetrical pinstripes on there to match my helmet. I'll leave it like this for atleast a week before I re do it with the scallops. Came out really great, I'm loving the matte black.

[NOTE: the spots the look shinier are just the grease spots from my hands]

The seat is Harley's new spring seat. They have it in black with white stitching and white with black stitching. Check the new catalogue.

The shifter is white, yes. The white grips are here ready to go, just waiting on my 8" z bars to arrive. I'll have them on by next weekend. I'll post pics when I'm done!


Thanks guys!

I've heard bad things about using touring shocks on a non touring frame. Here's a link. Post #48...

Default New 48 Old Bonnie

I figured I'd take a picture of the bikes before my old Triumph gets picked up by its new owner.

Here's some updated pictures of my forty eight.

Installed 2" risers from Loner and new seat from Ed at Sick Saddles.

I also put highway pegs on my engine guards. They really help me stretch my long legs on lengthy rides.
