A few of my bike pictures, as I keep adding on the goodies.
It's been fun so far, just waiting for all the goodies to show up for the bike, still waiting on my seat, a new trunk, bit the bullet and went for the big touring box with backrest and top rack. The current box does ok, but it's plastic, can't be repaired like fiberglass, so I'm moving up to the King tourpack setup. It's supposed to be here Saturday, so will hopefully have decent weather for painting and installation. I'll be adding LED lights to the tourpack trunk also.
It's still a cruiser and it's still awesome !
This beast was fast with the barndoor stock windshield, now that I have the Memphis shade batwing on it. It feels lighter and somewhat cutting the air much cleaner, just my feelings, and very little buffeting as before. I was toying with painting the fairing, but realized, the trunk, bags and rack are black, so I'll leave it two tone for now. it's getting some more bling soon, I'm getting the chromed saddle bag bars, have a chrome Stebal ? air horn that makes the stock horns sound like toys, I had air horns on my Old 84 Venture, I just loved to wake up the idiots who don't pay attention to lights lol !. They are too busy playing with the Cell phones or whatever. You know " joke em it they can't take a ^%$# " ha !
so I was tooling around today, and decided to try out my new camera. I recently switched from Canon to a Sony, and I really like it...in any case, here's some shots of my new baby. (almost turned 500 miles!)
Oh come on now...she's heavy, but not THAT heavy...
I am new on mine also, purchased it on the 5th of Aug 11. Just hit about 2200 on the odometer, did my first non event oil, filter and gear oil change, purchased a KN replacement air filter via amazon for about 15 less than everyone else wants.
already spent money and mounted a bunch of goodies, as my pictures show, still spent less than 2k on everything, I'll add it up oneday, but maybe not lol !. The most recent item ordered is a replacement for the trunk, I got a deal on a new black HD King tourpack trunk. with the chrome rack for the top and the passenger backrest with arm rests. Just need to paint it to match all the other black goodies, and matching somewhat with the leather saddle bags. I'm enjoying the beast, it's what I started calling it. Kind of fits. I'll have to get some outdoor pictures soon. I've had to clean the bugs off every night this week lol, I been helping out the bats, hope none of them are starving !
Oh and mine don't have the yellow reflectors on the front forks, the shop must have missed them when they assembled the bike. but I have plans for some Amber LED side lights for those cute little light brackets. Will probably borrow the power from the front turn/run light wiring. I'll take more pictures soon.
Thanks guys. Actually I was supposed to get a silver/gray Roadliner and the dealer screwed up the order so, they worked me a deal on this Strat in a much better color.
finally snapped a shot when I was riding around town yesterday. I think everything is stock except some lights, rear light flasher, V&H pipes, and the power commander.
Funny you should mention that. I just was looking up laying down the plate today. I may mess with the frame when I get home. either way, it'll be a free mod, so you can't go wrong with that...
