Here's some pics of my 2001 FLHT "not so standard". Like many metal flake/pearl paints these pics don't do justice to the Chrysler diamond ice silver in the custom two-tone job. Let me know what you guys think...I may submit one to American Iron and see if it will make the snaps section. I've seen worse in there.

Are you interested in something in-particular? The bolt on stuff is too numerous to mention...Favorite Vendor is probably KuryAkyn though.

The engine mods are listed in my signature line...

Mustang studded wide touring saddle and backrest.

The stereo is a Panasonic CD/Mp3 player that is controlled by infra red remote trigured from the hand controls by a PAC-Swix unit...running Soundstream 5.25" high powered very weather resistant speakers...mounted in the stock glove box with a face plate made out of 1/4" plastic and painted black.

All covers and fork legs were powdercoated black by a friend to set off and accentuate the natural aluminum finish of the "standard" motor.

The cyllinder heads were wrinkle blacked and highlighted by branch flowmetrics when they did the port and polish job.

That skull decal on the windshield was done by me by having black vinyl applied to the windshield all over the inside...then I traced a pattern off one of my favorite harley shirts onto that new Glad "press and seal" wrap with a sharpie marker. Then I "pressed and sealed" the pattern onto the vinyl and used an exacto knife to cut out the pattern leaving the design behind.

The whole bike has a black and silver/chrome theme with Harley davidson and aftermarket skull accents.

I still plan to get some dressy footboard inserts (passenger/driver) some day and I'd like the S&S IST ignition and Legend air suspensions bagger air shocks.

Its almost to the point where I can say its complete...It would have been so much easier to just buy the Screaming Eagle CVO Electraglide classics...but they weren't available in 2001.

Ride safe.

looks good. I like the powder coating. It's a blast personalizing your bike. I remember having the FXR and powdercoating the barrels, tappet blocks etc. I've got an Electra glide now . I put on the older style mirrors and the 95 inch kit, just the barrels and slugs and a low restriction air cleaner..I'm trying the stock pipes on this setup. It's nice and quiet and it seems to pull ok too
