1.  Store your pics on the internet. ex  Photobucket
2.  While viewing your library, click on the link that shows IMG Code [ img ] and copy that link if it doesn't copy it automatically.
3.  Paste that [ img ] link in your post.

I have added spaces around the "img" so that the forum software doesn't think my text is an image.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous.
It is however, extremely unforgiving of: inattention, ignorance, incompetence or stupidity.

Thanks for the compliments!  

That was taken in front of a Harley dealer.  I pulled right up in front like I owned the place got off and started snapping pictures; I couldn't help myself!

I can't help it. I've got this picture in my mind of a bunch of guys in the Harley shop peeking through the windows at you and one of them says, "If he's got a pair that big then just leave him alone. He'll leave when he's tired of taking pictures. Now get back to work! This ain't a Honda shop-we got bikes to work on!"

Great looking bike. And a quick question: what is the lightbar you have installed and did you have to modify anything to install it? I'd like to put one on mine but until I know for sure which ones will play well with my windshield (same as yours from the look of it) I don't want to spend the money.

It is a Show Crome light bar. And yes I made a new mounting bracket. The one that came with it was shorter in length and had spacers to mount it under the lower triple tree. That put it way to low for my taste. So took the original bracket and added 3/4" to the length of the side with circle cut out. Made the same bend as the original. Then removed the head light mounting bolts and slid it under, put the original bolts back in and tightened it down. That puts the lights closer to the center of the head light instead of below. I also like the fact that I could use the original rubber mounts for the turn signals which mount directly under the lights.

Thanks. When I get ready to install a light bar I'll keep this handy so I can reference it.
