I just dropped off my bike to get some work done. My bike will look slightly different next week at this time. I'm posting a few pics of what it looks like today and more when I get it back.

It's in the shop getting the following:
- Front lowering kit
- Chrome Front End
- Front Boom Audio speakers
- Painted Inner Fairing
- 2" Reduced Reach Handlebars
- Chrome Switches & Switch caps
- Chrome clutch & master housings
- Chrome levers
- Streamliner grips
- Boom Audio Saddlebag speakers w/ new lids
- Tour Pak LED Spoiler
- Oil & filter

Anyway, here are a few pics from today. (The fairing mounted mirrors will no longer be there, once the painted inner fairing get installed)

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the link. I'm undecided on what I'll get for wheels. I've always liked the H-D 6 spoke and I put them on my sporty but I don't really know. I may go with something totally different.

I picked up my bike yesterday and it looks amazing! The jury is still out on how I like the new reduced reach bars and new grips. I put on about 50 miles and had a lot of pain in my wrists. I hope that I'll get used the new position and the pain will go away. I never had any wrist pain with the stock bars and grips. I'm hoping I just need to make an adjustment and that I didn't just spend all this money for nothing.

Anyway, here's a few pics of how she looks now.

Why are you not able to keep the fairing mounted mirrors? I like those and I am considering the reduced reach bars too.
 
I had a painted inner fairing put on and did not want holes drilled to accommodate the fairing mount mirrors. With the reduced reach bars, H-D catalog says you have to install handlebar mounted mirrors anyway.

I ended up removing the reduced reach bars and had Wild 1s Chubby 10" Apes installed. The grip angle on the reduced reach was horrible. The pain in my hands was unbearable, making riding unpleasant. What a Big difference in the 2 bars. Hands down the Wild 1s are the superior bar.
 
The grip angle looks like the ones I already have on my Road King so I think I am already used to them. Disappointed that you were not able to keep the fairing mounted mirrors. I am going to try and use the fairing mounted ones and not buy the external mirror... just me, I think it looks cleaner that way. Thanks for posting the pics!
