I haven't really been into my truck for a while now. I just figured it has gone as far as I want it to go. It's my DD and I need it to be dependable. Not like it's a slouch though. I can hang with the big dawgs anyday! :jester:

 

Anyways, I recently purchased an '09 Electra Glide Standard in denim black and have been modding it ever since. I just haven't been posting it here.

 

So it started with this..........

Alpine X-100

Alpine components

ARC mini amp

iPod

I then took the two upper guages and moved them down to the lower holes so the tweeters can be more in line with my ears.

Here you can see the iPod/USB wire I ran to the guard bag. There is a nice little pouch in that leather bag where the iPod sits.

Here is the final results.........

It sounds really good with that amp. Nice and crisp, just the way I like it. That was one of the reason why I LOVE Alpine! I just need to install the PAC-SWI Jack for the handlebar controls. BTW, is there anyone near me that can handle that for me? I'd rather not do it myself because it looks complicated. If so, hit me up!

Ever since my bike was purchased, I've been looking for an exhaust and when I found one I wanted, it wasn't released yet. Of course, my luck! Anyways, I just finished this yesterday. It's now sporting a Vance & Hines Monster Oval exhaust (matte black with chrome tips) along with a Vance & Hines Fuelpak (fuel management system), and a Roland Sands billet air cleaner. Don't mind the heat shield missing in the pics, they all got taken off today and are on there way to Jet Hot in Arizona. They will be getting a matte black treatment. Oh ya, I also lowered the rear 3".

The sound is amazing! It has a very deep rumble, but is not obnoxiously loud at WOT which is what I wanted because I want to be able to hear the tunes. I like to say it sounds like Flowmasters on a Harley.

Up next is a wheel swap. I know what I want as far as color and style. I just need to see if the tires are available for it.

 

After that, I'll slow down a bit and start to get pieces blacked out and such. Everyone knows how I don't like chrome so I'll try to get rid of most of it, but I'm sure there will be some, just like the tips on the exhaust.

Nice bike Alex..Im diggn the black! you gonna bring to the hall?

 

 

It's all I've been driving to the hall lately. The turn around for the heat shields is about 5 days as I was told so the bike will sit there for a while. There are some minor things I'll handle while it's down hopefully. I hate the orange lenses up front. Especially the turn signals because they double as running lights so those orange things stick out like a sore @$$! :puke: I want to delete the running lights up front, change the lenses to smoked ones along with an amber bulb. I also want to change out the front fender lense to smoke as well.

your bike is looking real sharp... i love the rear pipes big time. Have you ever thought about getting your primary cover powder coated or get an open belt drive... you can get a really nice one - 3" on Ebay for around $1200 and it would really set the bike off... plus the inner primary cover you could get powder coated black...

All in due time brother! :jester:

 

I'm trying to take care of the big sh*t first! :cheers: I'll eventually start to remove parts and have them powdercoated, but that isn't as important as the exhaust, stereo, fuel management, wheels, etc., etc. right now.
