Woodie's Description:

Thank you for the BOW honors.

I picked up my 2006 Silverado new last February and she is a work in progress.

The first thing we done to her was to ripped off all the smog, relocated the fuel pump to under the tank and moved the choke so it is out of site.

We changed out the pipes to a set of 3’’ Hard Chrome and a Barons Big Air Kit so she would breathe right. 

I got a hell of a deal on a Dyna 3000 and that I have set at 5K RPM & 34A and must say she runs sweet.

Next we set out to make her fit me ( I am 5’9’’ with a 29” inseam) so we lowered the rear 1-1/2’ with the Barons lowering kit and progressive spring.  Combined with the Star Cruiser seat by Corbin she sits nice & low.

Now that I had my butt were I wanted it was time for the handle bars; they are 1-1/4’’ Road Star Dresser Style Pullbacks that are 35"-Wide 5 1/4"-Rise 14 1/2" - Pullback.  I picked these up from Bulldog's Custom Cycle.   http://www.bulldogscustomcycle.com     I sit just right on her now.

Jim from ATF Customs   http://www.aftcustoms.com   does the wrenching on her, at this stage of my life all I want to do is wash & ride if I need to have the tools in my hands more then 45 minutes I have Jim do it.  I trust Jim to wrench on my bike therefore I trust him with my life

Tomorrow I am adding the ATF Custom cleavage cover to fill the spot were the fuel pump was (I will post pic’s) after that who knows….maybe the 18’’ gray windshield…

Thank You Again for picking her for the BOW…..Rick….aka…Woodie
