Thank you for the compliment. It seems to be very popular when people first see it, especially in the sun.

A quick look through the thread showed a total of about 16 different bikes, and 7 of those were not Custom models.

How did you count 7? I MIGHT have seen 3, counting the Nightster.

I guess I am wrong. Again.
I was just looking for the bigger gas tanks, mistakenly forgetting the smaller tanks came on some C models also.

I don't have any "C" models but my wife has 3.

Her 04 "C" model before & after









her 03 "C" model (883 100th anniversary)



and her other 03 "C" model (1200 100th anniversary)



Waiting for her to decide what bike to ride is like waiting on her to decide what shoes to wear.

Hey mreed, how did you manage to make the second "C" look so low to the ground? It seems, and correct me if I'm wrong, that you use lowering blocks in the rear?

Yeah. Her 04 also has rear lowering blocks. They also both have progressive front springs but on the 2nd one I cut the top spacer shorter. Just enough to provide enough preload to keep things from rattling around. It's lowered around 3" front & rear. The 04 doesn't look as low because of the frame differences.
