(including manufacturer, product name, install date & short descriptions)

Stock replacement high flow air filter.
Küryakyn Billet O-Ring Valve Stem Covers 7/30/2007
D-Lee Engineering Billet Stem Nut Yoke Cover Clock 7/30/2007
Black face matches OEM speedo, runs on own battery, trick litttle mod
Küryakyn Caliper Insert Set 5/23/2006
Front, rear & front inner insert. Unlike their "chrome" plastic fender tip, these are chrome. Turquoise backing plates show through revolver cylinder style holes. After removing OEM foil inserts, have acetone on hand to clean goo.
H-D Chrome Battery Top Cover 5/10/2006
Küryakyn Chrome Front Fender Tip - front 5/3/2006
First of all it's not real chrome. Second, careful with that 3M adhesive patch. Where it goes on, it stays on. Looks nice though. Adds a finishing touch.
H-D Chrome Handlebar Clamp Hardware Kit 3/5/2006
Finally got that rusty thing out of there, with a little help from my Bro.
Chrome Horn Cover - 5" Round 3/31/2006
Plain chrome dome & mounting bracket. Looks like a UFO landed. Resonance makes the horn seem louder.
H-D Chrome Ignition Module Cover & Screw Kit 11/22/2005
Preexisting.
Chrome Lower Belt Guard 4/14/2006
The vendor said it's to cover the OEM PVC. Looks good but bugs me. Want to take off the stock piece.. should be one or the other, not both.
H-D Chrome Pyramid Axle Adjuster 11/22/2005
Preexisiting.
Chrome Upper Belt Guard 4/14/2006
Replaced the black OEM.
Lindby Custom Highway Bars with O-Ring 3/25/2006.
First mod since purchase didn't take long to install. Looks (and feels) great.
Iron Braid - Küryakyn Hand Braided Chrome Trigger Levers 7/7/2007
2-tone turquoise & black leather w/fringe to match Skinny's 2.2G Peanut tank trim. Bigger reach gap w/ ISO grips takes getting used to for someone with smaller hands & long fingers. 19.5" fringes don't spank too bad. Have yet to trim them.
Hard Leather Sissy Bar Bag 8/9/2007
Black cow leather, braid & fringe. 11x4.5x8 hard bag fits better than others tried on the older Sportster's narrow rear end (read: "SkinnyBuns" *L*). Inner snap flap. No sag.
Küryakyn ISO pegs (complete) 5/3/2006
Male mount large pegs, stirrups & duallys, installed 5/3/06. Longhorn shifter peg, installed 5/5/06. Small ISO pegs, installed 5/9/06. Replaced rusted old D-Rings with new ones from H-D, 5/23/06.

Gold Beauty Rings & Throttle Boss.
Performance Machine, Inc. Laced Front Wheel 11/22/2005
PM 40 Twisted Spoke. Preexisting.
H-D License Plate frame 5/23/2006
Your typical chrome billboard style frame. Not big & bulky like the Küryakyn (see next page).
H-D Live to Ride Logo Fuel Cap Medallion 11/22/2005
Preexisting gold & chrome.
H-D Live to Ride Logo Handlebar Clamp 11/22/2005

Custom Chrome Master Cylinder Cover 5/9/2006
OEM replacement.
H-D Medium-Tall Sissy & Small Pad 5/14/2006
Fits great & works with Mustang seat & H-D sport rack. Supposed to be for older Dynas. Wanted H-D's 2 button pad, but that only works w/stock seat.. gets crushed by the Mustang.
New Lines.. very nice! 7/7/2007
Will update manufacturer info once I get a complete list back from the Indy. Nice chrome tips. No more Throttle Wobbly.
K&N Oil Filter 5/24/2006
Stock replacement, chrome covered High Performance Evo-XL oil filter.
H-D Pre Screamin' Eagle Baloney Cut Slash-down 11/22/2005
From just before they started using the SE & subsequent SEII script on them. Love that "Po-tay-tah, Po-tay-tah, Po-tay-tah, Po-tay-tah.." Preexisting.
Mustang Regal Duke Touring Seat 4/14/2006
Deep seat w/ good lower back support. VERY comfortable 2-up. Got that Addams Family look to it.. me like. *L*
Küryakyn Scorpion Head Bolt Covers - EVO 8/8/2007
Vented chrome, purchased 8/06/07. Awaiting delivery. Update 8/08/07: Look great. Let's see if they stay put (see "H-D head bolt covers - next page).
USA Soft Leather Tool - Fork Bag 5/23/2006
w/chrome flaming tribal heart medallion. Sweet looking. Inner zip compartment. Has made in the USA tag.. Got it from Las Vegas H-D, at auction.
H-D Sport Luggage Rack Kit 11/22/2005
Preexisting. I take this on and off. Right now, it's back on. 5/23/06
H-D Teardrop Mirrors 7/7/2007
My new-used mirrors are naturally beautiful, w/ Harley Davidson in script. Still have the old OEM square jobs packed away, but these have became a favorite mod, for personal reasons.. *huggars to a dear riding buddy*

Here in the Northeastern USA, it's getting to be that time of year again. Just a few more rallys & winter project time arrives. The following list details my restoration progress.
My first goal is to make this scoot safe and strong. My second, to make her pretty (in a sort of Addams Family way *L*). That second part is easy! Emm.. as long as I get the parts at auction. Can't afford to have them made up special for a 15 y/o scoot. I'm making progress though. She's really starting to shine.

IMO, how a bike is supposed to sound. A rare bird these days.. copied many times over by other manufacturers. Margarine may look like butter, but can never really taste like it. ;-)

A Look Ahead
These projects are on deck for the future. I have the parts, just have to find the time. I'd love to get her done by Sturbridge, but to be realistic, that "aint gonna happen".
