Hi, just me again! So, I can post up my bike here? Maybe I'll do a few more upgrades? I was looking at that 131SE motor and then the price was complete bullshit! I'm gonna order the S&S upgrade instead! Way more HP and won't cost me $10K installed! Sheesh! Thanks!
If you are wanting to enter it as the BOTM, scroll up and have a read over the 7 simple rules, please.

My first bagger! '15 SG, not sure of any mods other than different slip ons, and a few Arlen Ness items.
I am an everyday rider and love the power and comfort of this beast! Planning on mods for front and rear
suspension, cams, and high flow oil pump in the near future. Planning on mixing drag racing and a bit
of road racing as well. I know she's pretty basic, but she's mine. Thanks in advance for any votes!

Looks like a CVO crash bar. If you ever want to put lowers on your bike for additional speakers you might have to change that out.

My favorite memory so far on this bike was a 9 day trip taken last year with two of my closest riding buddies from our homes in central Texas to Eureka Springs. On the second day of the trip, we endured torrential downpours for 8 hours. My girl “Elvira” never missed a beat while we rode for 5 days in the beautiful region of northwest Arkansas. Sadly, one of those buddies passed away a few months later, but I’m reminded of him and our adventures every time I swing a leg over the saddle ❤

Thanks for considering my submission for BOTM.
