Now drop some money in the motor. Then you will be real happy.

If you haven't ridden with the apes yet, be cautious if you do. The effect is near instant...a whooshing sound as the money flies out of your wallet!

Apes or not, with a chrome front end, a BBP inner would set that bike off! Add chrome control housings and a chrome master cylinder, and it will look beautiful. I know it's a lot of money for a purely cosmetic mod, but so were the forks and wheels!

Don't blame me though....I'm just trying to help stimulate the economy.

I'm done with mods for a while. I just hope we get a few more nice days in Chicago before the snow flies!

Here are the pics...






IMHO Leave it alone! Bike looks great....especially the outside shots!

The painted inner fairing would be nice....but maybe next year. That's something a shop would probably charge a left nut for!

ok I'm going to retract my earlier comment cause you pulled me back into the discussion with getting an inner fairing painted..lol. Get the factory version. I too contemplated getting the inner done on my 09 FLHX at a local bod shop but opted for the factory version. Glad I did and you will be too. Come resale time, you'll thank yourself!

Nicky,

Bike looks great, but you need to start doing some of the labor yourself. That $90.00 p/hour labor rate has got to be killing you.

Just think of all the goodies you could buy with the money you're spending on labor.

Get yourself a Service Manual if you don't have one, you probably won't be able to do all your own work, but most stuff is fairly easy.

I'm going to get the manual for sure...I don't know why I'm afraid to do more then an air cleaner swap! I've gotta sack up and just have at it.....one day....after my warranty is done!
