FOUR QUICK UPGRADES

ACCUTRONIX INSTIGATOR FLOORBOARDS, KNURLED GRIPS, SPEED MERCHANT SHIFTER PEGS, KLOCK WERKS WINDSHIELD TRIM

ot all mods have to be difficult or time consuming to have a big impact. Sometimes the right upgrades with a few hand tools and a little bit of Loctite done on a Saturday afternoon can quickly give your bike a custom touch. We took our 2017 Harley-Davidson Street Glide #gleamingthecube and added some floorboards and grips from Accutronix, pegs from Speed Merchant, and a little bit trim from Klock Werks to spruce up the look. Our buddies at Strictly Hawgs handled the install and only took a casual hour or so.
