Chip wanted me to post a couple of pic of what I had changed on my bike. I know this is only curisosity (sp), since everyone knows that his bike will remain stock! I told him I would post a couple of weeks ago and hadn't done it. Then he called me out Saturday. Don't anybody say anything about how dirty the bike is, I got caught on some wet roads last Sunday when Stephanie and I went out riding. It was 60 degrees out and Scooter and Val were "Too Busy" to go with us. (Jab, Jab)
   Anyway, this first one is the case vent hose, Scooter made each of our bikes one of these, it sure looks better than that old black hose. You can also see the chrome end cap on the starter, it looks better that black, but this is an aftermarket part with sorta poor chrome quality, a nice piece of chrome would look better here.

Your da MAN!

I need one of those hoses.

Thanks!

I like that hose but totally agree on the FUBS

Next is the rear footpeg extensions. They look goofy, but they filled the need. Stephaine is short with even shorter legs and she rode that bike for a year and never told me it that her calves rested on the top of the crash bar and was real uncomfortable. So before we rode to Sturgis 07 I bought these 4 inch (Kury) extensions, she really loves them and the stock Electra Glide seat that I put on.

My wife is also vertically challenged.  Took a different approach to solve it - easier for her to get on/off the bike. 
The HD Comfort Profile Rear Saddlebag Guard Kit (already had this on the RK & it fit the SEULTRA perfectly:

You have seen the Vand H ovals and the hitch and smoked t/s lenses.

[SBB]

Very nice there Mr. Hobo!

Gives me some things to ponder over.

Thanks Bud!

One more. See how comfortable she is now with the footpeg extensions. This picture brings back good memories of Sturgis 2007.

Where did you find the trailer hitch? And how securely mounted is it.

Ordered it from Kuryakin, but I forget through who. As far as the mounting, it is solid as a rock.

We will be riding down. (unless it's snowing or 100% chance of rain)
Leaving Friday morning the 29th.
Most likely taking the SERG and the Classic.
We are down the street from Jorge and a few others.
See you there!
The SERG will have a few changes that I would like for you to see!

Ran into the painter at the Easyriders show and he said he was spraying the final coat of clear on the inner fairing on Monday! Hopefully sometime at the end of next week.

I'm at a lost for the last one myself.

Would Chip mess w/us???

One other thing that I noticed and it might not be it, but that exhaust tip doesn't look right. Something looks different on that from what I remember my V&H Pro-Pipe looked like. Did you paint the end or something?

I wanted to say thanks to Hobo for showing me the obvious.
He sent me this,

http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=19688.0;attach=54894

and suggested I should try one on the SERG.
I have had one on every Electra Glide I have had for years.
The first one I bought was $14.99 and now they are up to $22.99.
Very inexpensive by Harley standards.
But what a pain to put on a SERG. Took two sets of hands, but it's on!


Sometimes the simple pieces go unnoticed!
