Hey .357 Magnum. Yes it is the factory S-Bar and I will send more pictures. This saturday I will have the chopped fender rack on it and the wrinkle black top rocker covers on. The Premium horn kit came in yesterday so it's going on to. Last night I got the foot pegs on and I will post some pictures sunday when it is done. I put the brawler seat on for long trips but the spring solo for me is good for the short trips.

 

Hey Pagan48 I sent .357 Magnum some pictures of the s-bar It looks better with the brawler seat and the spring seat. I will be posting some picts sunday. If you can't find the picts I send them again. Thanks

 

I think it's because you haven't been registered long enough or you don't have enough posts. Try getting more than 5 posts or so and see if that opens it up for you

 

Great lookin bikes! I'm getting lots of sweet ideas for when I get my Forty Eight.

 

Just noticing that. They told me if I don't like the bike in person, then I am not obligated to buy it, so I may wait to see it in person. Otherwise, may buy in black, then repaint in metalflake green

 

Such a shame the 48 doesn't come with mini apes already. seeing so many adding that, and how much better it looks, tells me that HD is making a killing (as usual) in making their bikes "right".

 

X2!

The 48 that really inspired me was on the floor at Republic HD in Stafford, TX. It already had mini apes, short shots, and wide white walls on it. I've been looking at HD's for some time trying to decided which one I wanted. This one made up my mind.

 

Exactly my point.. :-)

Seeing a Street Bob, with a different seat, exhaust and a sissy bar sold me on my first HD (09 FXDB).

Cost me more than I want to think of so far (still more to do) to make it how I wanted it..

I guess that is simply the HD way.

Funny how you almost never see a 100% stock HD..

 

Yes, that's what sold me: seeing it on the floor with the mini-apes on already. Of course, what's "right" is different for everyone, so having a big fat catalog to choose from is exactly the right strategy for them to take... and one of the reasons why I gravitate toward Harleys in the first place.

 

Indeed.... I guarantee they make more on parts and labor than bike sales.

Not to mention all the non HD stuff they likely sell from 3rd party distributors like Drag Specialties, etc..
