Well not today but painted and installed my new Wittco Hard bags. Added some decals for now as they were plain looking. The irony is my rear rocker box started leaking the same day I installed the bags and cleaned the bike.

Default Slammers better than stock

Chopped the rear fender today and relocated tail light and License plate. Stripped the new mustang tank and getting ready to paint it. Should have finished pics by monday or tuesday. Waiting on spacers from J&P for the front wheel swap.

Not a biggie but I installed the 48 seat that I got from someone on the forum to my 14' Iron this morning and rode it to work. I really love the look on the bike now. I am going to give the seat a chance but if it’s anything like I feel right now with my tail bone kicking my a** I'm just going to revert back to my stock seat and eventually save some $$$ for a Le Pera seat.

Over the weekend I put on a set of Biltwell bars. I didn't even have to change any cables. They are about an 8" rise, and I LOVE the narrow look and feel!!!


Now I have to pick up the front turn signal re-location kit I ordered from Harley to clean the bars up a bit! I'll probably install that tomorrow!

70 miles and topped off the gas.

Temps started out at 46 and dropping. No packs of weekend warriors so it was a smooth fun ride.

I finally found something that should make a nice Brass catch can to match my custom Brass Breathers so I ordered one. I'll post pics when its complete.
