I'm here. Added my saddle bag brackets on Christmas, found that the larger tire rubbed on the bolts, Added saddle bags and Progressive shocks (11 1/2").

Man what a difference, the ride is MUCH smooother and I'm riding to work and back every day.

I also added a mud flap to the front rim, mounted it inside the rim so the clearance is very tight with the front tire but it seems not to rub.

Also, I painted my gas tank (rustoleum gloss black) and am continuing to strip the clear coat off of the engine cases and polishing up the aluminum.

I love this bike ! Eventually, I'll get into the carburetor spacer mod but I'm a little scared of the screw removal problems that I've read about in this forum.

Harley Dyna Handlebar 4" rise, custom mirrors, Intruder 1400 Grips and bar-end weights, Bullet rear turn signals mounted to fender. Polished engine cases, header pipe, lower forks, brake reservoir, upper and lower triple tree. Removed side rails and grab bar. Python Muffler, single OEM seat, Iridium plug, cone filter. In the process of putting the final touches on. It was a pain geting all the old yellowed, cracked, ugly clearcoat off. Oh and a new pair of starter gears. Oil/filter change.
More to come ...

Let's see, one brain cell at a time so as not to overtax anything really important...
1. Installed yellow tint Memphis Shields for cold weather riding.
2. Installed Progressive 418's purchased from my favorite store...ebay.
3. After several swaps and redo's finally go the supertrapp on the way I wanted.
4. TBA...(Friday the 13th) I just remembered that I put a set of eGrips on the bars...very comfortable.
