Well this is my first Harley and I thought it was perfect just 10 short months ago but like everything else I own I cannot leave well enough alone. I'm got 1800 horsepower in my boat, the Jeep has a six inch lift, 37 inch tires and a built V8 so of course I cannot leave the FLHX alone.

The great thing is my wife loves this stuff and supports me 100% and she is thrilled with the way the Street Glide turned out.

Okay another project FINISHED!

Many thanks to Clayton Tackett of Kustom Kolors and Tom and Andy for a FANTASTIC custom paint job.

2008 Harley FLHX Street Glide

New rubber front & back
New billet front wheel - 18" Renegade Tahoe
Matching chrome front brake rotors
Complete chrome front end
Paul Yaffe billet chrome fork covers
Wild 1 Chubby 575 handle bars
Vance & Hines True Duals
Vance & Hines Monster Ovals
SE Programer
Chrome lady brake & clutch levers
ARC Stereo Amp & Speakers
Braided clutch cable
Mustang Seat
Bagger Brace Stabilizer

CUSTOM PAINT SET

I found a stock Harley Pearl White paint set off a new bike and Clayton did a very cool design for me and added the PPG "Oh-So-Orange", silver trim and the shadows.

The wife and I rode the bike about an hour after we picked it up and it is stupid crazy how much attention this bike attracks. Every where we stop people gather around it.

I hope to enter it in a local bike show this weekend and see how it does.
ats pretty.. Im jealous ... Some day maybe ill find a job and do more to mine.. Id sure like to custom paint mine and I can do the work but I cant justify spending the cash for the materials with no job.. The wife is letting take the summer off and go to all the sprint car races I want so I have to draw the line somewhere... You did a good job and you have a beautiful scoot there.. That reminds me Ive got work to do.. were riding after the wife gets home today ...

Noticeable difference

I would say it is at least 10 times better than stock. I like to play it when I'm working on the bike or cleaning it and last night I walked out of the shop and could hear it crystal clear. I was playing a CD in the unit. It was definitely money well spent.

Now I just have to get a good antenna. The Harley shop sold me this unit I have pictured and told me it was good. NOT
That is the worst antenna I have ever seen.

Looks good! The guys at Clemmons Motorcycles are good guys. I just moved into the area at the beginning of the year, been trying to meet up for one of their Sunday rides.

congrats, that is a great looking bike. based on your description, I would have liked it even better if you had been more involved in the build beyond just writing the check.

Awesome bike and beautiful paint job. I think I know the place where you had it done. Wasn't it an American Ironhorse joint a couple years ago?
By the way, we were in Clemmons for Easter. Have friends there.
We had a few beers at Sherry's, a couple blocks from Clemmons Cycles.
We also visited Curly's HD. Nice dealership.
