Love the ride joolz6, the tassles give a very American look & I likes it
Really like the front fender gaurd, they make bikes a bit bulkier which is always a good thing on cruisers me thinks.
what make are the passenger floorboards, I really like them & they really suit the bike & fade in well. I have never got any spare cash but when I do get some thats one of the first things I am going to buy. I am getting pissed off with my Mrs melting her f*ckin shoes on my exhaust because she can't mangage to control her bloody feet & then moaning at me

I can't get my Mrs on my bloody bike, she has had all the excuses you could dream of over the years why not to get on. She always said tho' if I bought a cruiser she probably would go on it, 18 months later I am still hearing excuses. I only bought a cruiser in the first place because of her, I give up!
There is no pleasing a woman !!! Mind you its great just to go on the bike on your own without someone on the back moaning all the time !! LOL I am gettimg my spolights wired up today so i will post some more photos probaly tomorrow.
Yep the V&H longshots make a great sound (no baffles !!!) Just got the spots wired in today (see the custom chrome switch on the left hand side ) i can have them on dipped or full beam or not at all ! mmmm now what else can i get for the bike ?

Guys, I had the same problem and the missus picked my bike ! It took me 3 years to get her on the back but eventually she got on there after
1) I told her I was going to sell it and buy a Bandit or something similar. She told me not to sell it as she loved it so I told her if she loved it that much, get on the damned thing then and she did !
2) I've found that mass organised runs ( we recently did the Ride for Heroes from Squires Bar in Sherburn to Eden Camp military museum in Malton.. 500 bikes in total and we do the Harley Davidson Baildon Rally Toy Run every year on August bank holiday Sunday ... around 400 bikes and no, you don't need a Harley to do it, unusually on that day the HD guys bin their brand snobbery and everyone's welcome).
With regard to no 2 above, Sarah feels safer riding in a large group and of course it tends to keep your speed down a little which is more comfortable for a pillion. Personally I admire anyone who'll regularly ride pillion on a bike, I wouldn't ! If I had to though I'd have to pick a cruiser as first choice or something like a Pan European as 2nd choice I think. I don't understand however, why people would ride pillion on something like a GSXR or Ninja .... I see ( generally girls ) perched on the tiny pillion pad with their knees around there ears and have to think to myself " where's the pleasure in that ? "
