Default An uncommon look

Customizing our bikes is always a metamorphosis. Sometimes we get the bike the way the want on the first try. Other times we get part way and realize this was not what we intended. My road glide was that way. When I got it I added 12" kst bars, a fuel moto header and jackpot mufflers, dk air cleaner and lower fairings with speakers. While a fair looking bike and good riding it just didn't feel right to me. So over the last 7 months I decided to make it more my style. I swapped out to 14" west coast mx t bars, a rush wrath 2-1 pipe, ditched the engine guard and fairings and added a set of hogtunes speaker lids and a soundstream 1000 amp and topped it off with a freedom shields sport touring windshield. Upgraded the rear suspension to 13" progressive 444. Just got it back together from paint and the first round of powder. It's not what most would probably do but it's definitely a conversation piece as are most my bikes. And most important of all its a blast to ride. It's an ever evolving process but hey cheaper than trading a 15 in to get a 17 right? Haha

It IS green....but nothing else. No stripes...nothing. Although it looks different to you,
to me it is a plain green bike. (Maybe some pictures of Kermit, or the HULK....but just to paint a bike an uncommon color
and be done? Nah.)
