Added curved license plate holder today.. The plastic back plate and bolts looked to cheesy to leave on
Also picked up Willie G derby cover but will wait till next weekend to install. Having 1k service and recalls done on Saturday.. Tech said he would install it then..

My curved license plate holder was (also) unexciting so I cut out a blue plastic document protector, punched 4 holes in the corners and installed it over the plate. Looks much better I think.

Installed a set of cheaper aftermarket lowers. I wanted to try a set and didn't want to lay out $559 for a set of HD lowers.
These were from eBay from kjet. $198 shipped. Made in China but shipped from CA. Got them in 5 days. They were suppose to be color matched to black denim. I think I they are more of a satin and that's not a problem for me. Matches my powder coating pretty good. After reading some reviews and doing a little research I was expecting a less than perfect finish but was pleasantly surprised. They had all the mounting hardware and the weight of material seemed good. Went together OK (no instructions included ) after watching a video on their auction site. Overall I'm pretty happy with these. One reason I didn't go with the HD brand is I relocated my floor boards and knew I would have to cut these to make them fit. I didn't want to screw up a expensive set from HD. I thought I'd pass this on as I know others out there have been looking at these cheaper lowers

Sorry about the pics. They were right side up in my gallery?

Forgot to post this, but I added another bit of chrome to her. That little lip just under the windshield just begs to have SOMETHING put on it. Next up I'll be getting a set of windshield spikes to add to the effect.

Glad you're ok Derrick. It was good to meet you in Daytona last March and hit Main Street. Be safe brother!

Got my spikes!

I just put gloss black spikes on mine a couple days ago.
Waiting on my USMC shield trim to come in.
Was your center spike/bolt to long without a shield trim ?
Asking because mine is, just put a few washers behind it for now tell my shield trim shows up.
Get on your bad motor scooter and ride
Honestly I couldn't tell you. I ordered them off eBay and just ran them in over my trim piece which I already had on since about a week or two ago.
Definitely wanna see that USMC trim once you get it though.

Installed Fork Fangs and adjustable fairing wings, makes a big difference on the air coming up from between the fairing and the gas tank!
You know, I really like the stripped down features of the street glide, but I can't deny the usefulness those two mods provide- especially in the colder riding seasons. I'm thinking I might pick them up and mount them for the winter, and strip things back down in the spring.
