Looks good! What is the rise on your bars? I think yours are shorter than mine, I think I like that look better....

They are the 1 1/2 with a 8" rise and I think about 2-3 in. of pull back. I am 6'1 and they are really comfortable. I still need to run the wires inside, will look a lot better.

looks nice, real nice! Are your rocker boxes chrome or polished? What about the lower legs?

They are both stock. This winter I'm thinking about trying to do a "home" polishing job on the lowers.

I'll tell ya from experience it ain't easy! I just did the rear wheel, caliper, rotor and pulley on mine, turned out pretty good but not as good as a pro would've done. Definitely takes some practice. I'm going to do my lowers front rotor and caliper when I put the front lowering kit on later this year. If you need some advice, I'll be happy to pass on what little experience I've aquired...

Thought I would post some pics of my wife's '05 FXST that I customized for her. I bought it as a salvage (fire damage) so after all the old damaged parts were stripped off we were able to build exactly what she wanted.

Features:

Adjustable rear lowering kit
2" under forks w/ HD profile low suspension kit (springs & jiffy stand)
FL footboards
Short brake lever
Flanders 35 degree drag bars w/ 8" risers
Sumax Loboy rear fender
Aftermarket front fender
V&H Shortshot staggered pipes
Bar Enterprises solo seat w/ flame stitching
Custom paint by me

Try to ignore the sky-blue rusted out $hitbox in the background...

Some new pics of my '05 FXSTI

Thought I'd post a few new shots of my bike since I changed a few things. Had the tank repainted vivid black and put emblems off a Street Glide on. I wanted to get rid of any colors on it except black and chrome. Also put on the front turn signal relocation kit and finished putting the diamond plate foot pegs and pedals to match the grips. :chopper: <br>

Thanks Shaw_2112.

I actually work for one of those "beer of the month" clubs where you get microbrews delivered to your house from all over the U.S. I work in a huge warehouse full of good beer! It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!!drunk! :beer:

Yes, they're Vance & Hines Shortshots Staggered, and you can find them on eBay at a fair price ($259.95 incl. shipping).

They sound great but definitely loud.

Thanks, I was kinda hoping my wife wouldn't like it so I could keep it for myself. I would have kept the fwd controls and steered clear of the highway bars, but it's still a blast to ride. Occasionally, I'll pull the windshield and bags off and take it for a spin while she's at work (just to make sure everything is working properly, of course).
