Hot damn..... Looking good man! The Phantom front was a great idea. Looks killer. I like the rear fender, who ever trimmed it did a great job!
And you do need new exhaust, the big ass cannon there kinda looks cool, but I don't think it should stick out past the back of the bike. I am looking at the shortshots too, nice looking pipes.
Keep up the good work!

Looks great man! Hmmmm....whatch gonna do with the stock rear fender you took off?
I'm kinda licken my chomps over here, that old rear fender would be perfect for me!

i still have my original rear fender but im keeping it for now that is a fender from TI3VOM it was on his spirit c2 and he did a geat job chopping it THANKS AGAIN!!
and i was pretty worried about that front fender not fitting i looked at a phantom in the showroom and took a few measurements it seemed the same but i was still nervous it wasnt going to fit

Yes, I don't blame you for keeping it. Please let me know if you change your mind though. Your bike looks fricken great! Kinda funny though, you're making your Aero look more like a Spirit, and I want to make my Spirit look more like an Aero...LOL

03-06-2011, 01:44 AM
lol yea that is pretty funny. yea just in case i ever decide to change it back i doubt i will though im lovin this look
Looks good man!
BTW - Nice brake rotor collection, lol. and is that a Fatboy in the back ground?

Looks really good but whats with the mirrors? Those gotta go!!! I too was checking out that rotor collection. Got any in there for a Trailblazer?
wiseman9986
03-06-2011, 08:40 AM
i wondered when someone was going to notice all of the rotors. for some reason my bay is where we store all of the scrap at work. and yes there is a 2000 fatboy back there thats my dads and there is also a 95 goldwing which is my brothers.
ive been looking around at mirrors but i just cant decide

Not bad for an Aero. Now need to get a different headlight and shave that seat down or go to a solo seat and maybe a tank stretch. Looks good for a shaft drive Aero.

i deffinetly agree on the headlight ive been keeping an eye out on ebay for a vtx one

I tied ordering the short shots Wednesday and was told they have been back ordered until Friday.
Friday I reordered and found out that they have been backordered until April 17th.

I ordered through the local dealer that ordered from V&H, maybe your source has them in stock. If so contact me and I will order from him. :thumbsup:
Edit: Oh by the way, I just thought, mine are the black ones for the Phantom. Yours may be different and in stock! Sorry!

Question, did you order new gaskets or did you use your old ones?
wiseman9986
03-08-2011, 02:48 PM

OK Thanks! I was going to be real careful with mine and see if I could reuse them for the short shots.
Mine are still semi-virgins! LOL!

Well hell, I thought I was dealing with those carbon/asbestos things like in my ST-1100, this is a whole game changer. :thumbsup:
I was dreading fucking with them. :madani:

that looks great... i really like the LED brake light in the fender
wiseman9986
03-09-2011, 02:17 PM
thanks i like it alot too it is actually turn and tail lights too and the lights on the side also function as brake turn and tail

03-09-2011, 02:34 PM
nice! how much did that burn the wallet
wiseman9986
03-09-2011, 02:47 PM
the led lights are pretty cheap i got them from some place in china for like 10 bucks. but i think radiantz sells them too. the turn signals are kuryakyn mini bullets i think they were about 70 and the kuryakyn run/turn/brake module was around 50 i think

Cruiser Customizing has them for around 12 bucks:speechles, but I thing I paid 4 at the local stealership and they had them in stock.
Do it right, or do it twice......

Got a question about the bags on the bike.
I've seen them on evilbay, they look really cool, and they are cheap too. But I'm guessing that it's one of those "you get what you pay fors"
What do you think of them??? Will they hold up at all??? Probably still worth it for the 150 bucks they want.
Let me/us know what you think.
Hope to have a bike soon to but them on.
Thanks

Yeah Yeah. lousy skills and poor reference also, I deserved that. Probably a little thread drift too.
Wiseman's bike does look awesome, and I too really like the led's under the fender lip.
The bags I was refering to are on bikermike's. I got the thread starter and replyers fucked up. Please accept my humble apologies!!!!!!!!!!!
So, bikermike, what about those cheap bags??????????

That's very unusual that the dealer has cheaper OEM parts than the aftermarket people.
Couldn't hurt to get new ones!:thumbsup:

I pulled the exhaust system off today and put in the Suburban, I deliver them to the powder coating shop Tuesday and they are supposed to be finished Wednesday.
They inner plates have been drilled out and I am satisfied with the sound and performance. If they don't work out I can still buy the V&H pipes!
Pictures will be shown with the new high temp semi gloss powder coat ASAP!
I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas! LOL!

I love the short shots, but after a full day I tend to say "What?" a lot... It was still winter when I put them on, and was still primarily wearing my 3/4 helmet, so they didn't seem too loud. Now that I'm in a 1/2, they are entirely different.
