Alright, finally had some time to go snap some pics. I still have a few things to do to it, pin striping, change out the signal lenses, modify a stock seat, and a few other small things. This was the goal with this bike when I bought it, to be able to change it to my needs within a few moments.

Here it is after I spent a day cleaning when I bought it last fall. You could not even tell there was a white wall tire on the rear it was so neglected.

Here is the hot rod look

This is how I will normally keep it

And when I plan a trip with my daughter or wife

Once I modify a stock seat or find a nice solo seat I have a solo rack for the back for yet another look. I also have a shield for the long trips and colder weather.

love the hot rod look man awesome!!!!!!

When I bought her about a month ago How she looks for the time being I have other changes in mind but they will have to wait until the deep freeze cause I'm not giving up any riding time that I don't have to.

Re:lets see the changes... 11 Months, 1 Week ago

Here is my wifes 07' that she has had for 7 weeks now.

This was at the Dealer the day I bought it.

So far I have Lowered it with the flip method. Installed an ED reach seat. Changed the pipes to 3" RoadBurners.
Changed the Handle bars to some tall Ultra Classic bars. Installed some bags that I had on a Softail that I never ride using the EZBrackets that were on the Softail. I had to do some grinding on the brackets to get them to work but they were really close to fitting the way they were. Ported the Manifold, re jetted the carb and installed one of Shanes "Hard Times" air filters with a Barons PMS screw and moved the idle screw Idle screw knob up to the carb and lost that lower bracket. Removed passenger floorboards. Cut down the windshield. Removed the AIS. I think that is all I have done for now.

Here it was this past Monday when we took a little trip to the northern part of the state.
