Cool Feeling neglected.

I feel like i havent been contributing the the site lately. I went home on leave and but over a 1000 miles on my bike in just 12 days!. I smoked the lenses. Relocated the front turn signals, flipped the mirrors. Replaced hand levers with black ones. I also put Road King shocks on running 5 psi. I have the highway pegs on for the long rides which is most of the time lol. I also have Shinko 777 tires front and back not pictured. Made some rear passenger pegs out of 20MM rounds also not pictured. I also relocated the ignition behind the rear jug, be careful though within 2 days my barrel key had already broke but it still works. More to come in a few months when I get to Cali. ENJOY!
The first pic is from the 4th of July.






Ride to Galveston before I left for Japan.

The long awaited 20mm round passenger pegs.

Looks good! Careful with the weaponry. I know a retired guy who can't ride on post anymore...

However, he has dummy M16s with bayonets, batons, handcuffs for highway pegs, belts of blanks, and dummy hand grenades.

...just in case you were planning more :P

You should be straight. I'm assuming you pulled out the cap/powder (I know...but I have to ask). The main thing was that his dummy M16s were pointed back and might "make people uncomfortable"

They will never all be fixed...always something new to change!

Yeah i was a little busy, but it was worth it I had a blast when I was home it had been over a year and i took advantage! Spent way to much money but everything that I have done to my sporty has been fairly cheap. I am in love with it. Sadly I am already back in Japan but only for 2 months then I get to go to Cali! woot woot again thanks for all the comments .
