Nice bike, it is a very stunning combination of colors. Great pictures too, which Nikon lens did you use?

LED lights... they are bright without a doubt. Mine need to be adjusted to suit my liking. As they are right now they are just ok, not great. If I were running HID's I wouldn't change them out in anticipation of more light, a different light pattern yes. Again once they are adjusted I'll let you know what I think of them. Right now they aren't out far enough for me to rip through the corners. I found myself cornering in the dark as the lights weren't where they needed to be. The light itself is bright and white. I like the hi beam as it spreads a nice wide pattern. The low beam is not as wide which would be nice for those who live in more of a city environment. For once I didn't have oncoming cars flashing their lights at me, I'll change that  ;) .

Mike

I read here about those that think their bike looks better than the 13's. Well I think you have a beautiful SERGC. I also think my 2012 SERGC is beautiful.
I love them all. I'm lucky enough to have the best of both worlds and enjoy both. (batwing/sharknose) My favorite bike is always the one I'm riding at that time. The key here is to buy what you want and ride the crap out of it.
I am very interested in your results on the LED lights. I think the blacked out ones look cool as hell and will have those on my SERG's as soon as I can. Keep us informed on your progress with aiming them. Beautiful bike you have there buddy!

Mike, I have a question what is that in the glove box?  It appears to be a switch for what?

They really did a nice job with the paint on the 13 and the way it is laid out.  That really looks sharp and your pictures show so much more Detail than the harley pictures did.

Awesome.

Please give info on two things:

1.  As much detail on the headlights as possible!  I have mine ordered but would like to know what you think of them.

2.  (I did ask earlier, but maybe it got lost in all the posts):  Does it say "Harley Davidson" on your fairing under the windshield?  Or on the the windshield?  Or is that a reflection?  Looks really cool ! (last pic on page 2)


Thank you ! !

I'm still undecided on the headlights. There isn't that much of a gain in light if any over HID's. The difference is in the pattern on the road, which is nice. As of this minute I would have been disappointed if I spent the money to switch from HID's to LED's. I adjusted them some this morning and I will test them out later to see if my opinion of them changes.

The Harley Davidson is written on the back side of the windshield, it's pretty cool looking.

That isn't a switch, it's the bolt for the passenger seat. I didn't know where to put it!  :D

Up on the lift to "Take a look".



While it's up there might as well install a flush mount axle and Bad As Hell fork cap along with a shifter spacer......

I can't get my foot between the levers even with "extended" levers.



The stock linkage on its way out.



Flipped the long lever around to the front and eliminated the rear lever.



A linkage I had sitting around......



Shift lever spacer/eliminator.

Taking a look to see what would be involved with moving the plate.





Way to many holes to try and cover, Yaffe plate holder it will be.



Might as well remove the reflector while I'm here.



Time to start a list of parts that need to be ordered.....
