Well, my blog will be slow for awhile because I am working a lot (aren't we all). My industry is directly related to the weather so an extremely active hurricane season has my schedule very full. I will probably use the blog to chronicle road trips, vacations, mods, and the general evolution of my motorcycle. I will start today with what it looked like from the beginning and post some pictures chronologically showing it's progression.

The early days, pretty much bone stock.

Before long I added new exhaust from Porker Performance, the Screamin Eagle Air Cleaner Kit and a Power Commander III USB and a solo seat.



The stock handlebars were killing my back so I went with the 12.5" apes from Drag Specialties. I may go up to 16" in the future, but there are other things I want to do first. This pic also shows one of my favorite add-ons, the black engine guard. It was a risk (going away from the chrome) but I wanted the contrast the black brings. Plus I added some HD Skull covers and the HD Diamond plate boards, grips, and pegs (didn't want to many skulls and I like the industrial look of the diamond plate).



This brings us to the current state. I of course, skipped A LOT of stuff, but most of the high spots have been covered. The pic below shows the Cycle Supply chrome controls, the chrome front end, and the lowered rear end. I also powder coated my air cleaner cover and air wing horn cover gloss black. You'll also notice my turn signals are moved to the forks. I'll post some pics and info on that mod at a later date, it only cost about $10 and totally cleaned up my handlebars.

Well, that's all for now. My bike is a work in progress. I am down to the last BIG THREE, wheels, paint, and engine build (in no particular order). It may take a while to do these things due to expense, but I'm in no hurry. Thanks to my buddies Jeremy and Mike for helping me do 99% of the modifications in our garages. The few labor hours I pay for the better.
