Personalization of a bike comes in many flavors. Greg decided that changing out the front sheetmetal would be one of his first priorities. He chose a 3-inch stretched gas tank from Russ Wernimont combined with a DS pop-up gas cap. The stock front fender was pitched in favor of a 5-1/2-inch Rambler fender (also from Wernimont) that was attached to the fork legs with a Chopper Guys fender adapter. For now, the rear fender remains stock. Gunslinger Custom Paint shot the paint, adding silver marble graphics to help set the bike apart in a crowd. A few extra items were chosen from the Fatbook, including the Cobra floorboards, DS board mounts, Pro-One license-plate frame, and a DS low-profile seat.
As often happens, when riding season bloomed Greg ran out of time to do more work on his transformed FLHX. He just wanted to ride all the time once the harsh Midwestern winter subsided. He has plans to do more to his bike, probably starting with a light bar, rear fender, a new clutch, and an ignition. One of the best parts of owning an H-D is the canvas to create what you like. Just like Greg, we all share a common bond-the appreciation of and passion for motorcycles.
