I just bought a Memphis Fats 21" windshield and mounting kit. Going to pick it up tomorrow. I know I'm going to get the "Worthless without pictures" treatment, but I've got a question.

What was the first aftermarket thing you guys put on your bikes?

EasyE · 08-06-2007, 09:00 PM

first thing was a tank divider with a pocket, windshield and crashbars. Then I put on a set of debaffled pipes.

My first mod was a windshield.

Same here. Also a Memphis Fats 21-inch.

raycogxxx · 08-09-2007, 12:08 PM

pegs, bags and shield

tallannie · 08-09-2007, 12:52 PM

and yet another person who put on a memphis fats 21" shield.

followed by engine guard, then by debadging, then by risers, then a seat mod, then saddlebags, then iso grips, then a luggage rack.... now waiting for lightbar to arrive...

On my Intruder it was a run-brake-turn controller and some ISO grips. On my Harley it was a bunch of chrome bits and some pinstripping. On the antique Harley the first things I ordered were aftermarket engine rebuild kit to stop the oil burning and allow it to run on unleaded gas, a Le Para seat, and some Progressive shocks.

As for the very first thing I ever ordered aftermarket for ANY bike, it was a black chrome license plate frame for my 1969 Sportster.

OEM Lightbar, OEM engine Guard, Kuryakyn pegs, passenger floorboards, speedometer visor all put on, on the first day...And have a huge wish list for a lot more...

bags, windshield, and lightbar in the first week. Also stripped every emblem and badge and removed the pair valve in about the same amount of time. Since then I have added driver and passenger back rests, Cobra powerpro HP 2 into 1 exhaust, and have ordered a power commander III usb and K&N filter

Clear signal indicators from Clear Alternatives.

DaveMc · 08-11-2007, 07:29 PM

The first mod was Easy Brackets for the saddlebags.

Then changed out the risers (Show Chrome 3.5").

Then added the front fender rail / trim (Suzuki OEM aftermarket).

Then a Mustang seat (studded).

Most recent: speedo visor (Show Chrome).

Not done ...
