    I still do not understand why folks use budget products on their $10k - $30k bikes.

    It's finally home, registered and rolling.. it's what I'd call a 3m bike.. super sweet from 3m, up close she's rough around the edges but seeing she's nearly 40 I guess that's ok :) it leaks oil, has some cracks and rust, runs rough, is slow has horrible brakes.. but damn I love it.

    Just fitted some Pangea stream liner bars which Are sweet as hell, went to fit the tiny headlight I bought and lower mount, but as I discovered all of the wiring is jammed into the back of it, maybe another day. There's also a sissy bar to be welded up.

    Looks sweet.... Just ditch the air cleaner as it does not match the style of the bike (IMO).

    S&S teardrop or Ramflow would be the bees knees.

    Looks good, but agree , Aircleaner wrong , i think for a bike that age, S&S L series with the old round ( made before tear drop, but same cast style just round  ;)would look the best just hard to find, i have one but don't want to sell.

    Happy New Year

    Bike looks great,but agree with the air cleaner for your bike. As far as pipes are concened agree that short shots are s????T, mine had them when I got her, now has D&D Bobobcat, what a difference, expensive but worth every dollar. Unfortunately still can't afford the 88inch hammmer kit! Becvoming trailer trash is too expensive, go figure.

    So the answer is fairly obvious....they do not give a fuck about you.

    I would be at their door with a trailer to haul my bike to a real shop!
