Default Modded the 48 and Nightster

Spent a little time on my 48 and the wife's Nightster today. Both bikes got V&H short shots and Vieds, then hers got a new AC. My bike got a new starter cover which really looks good and I'm doing an AC now. Both bikes got axle covers, smoked lens covers, swing arm pivot covers, derby and ignition covers and shock bolt covers as well as powder coated rocker box covers. Next up for the wife's bike are powder coated engine covers ( primary, pulley etc) as well as tapper block covers and primary trim...gotta get rid of the grey....I'll finish them off with street bob 17x4.5 rear wheels with a 170 or 180 tires and some very subtle custom pain accents.

I like the two tone look of the nightster motor it goes well with the nightster theme. the black accents even out the black and the grey nicely I think.

The ViEDS were a pleasant surprise, throttle response is markedly improved and part throttle acceleration is much smoother..

Yes exactly like yours except I'm going to powder coat the engine covers as well.
Bike looks great btw

I just installed the Shorts Shots this week, they sound great and with the VieD's and VO2 intake it brought the peformance to another level. The bikes look great !!
