Hello everybody ! I'm kinda new here and have posted in some topics......but this one looked like a fun one since a lot of intruder owners are here.......I bought mine new in 05 .....(They call the 1400 an S-83) so I rode it a year with saddlebags and windshield,then started changing her up to a long front end (left the windshield on) and kept the dragbars (added 7 in risers) ,put on progressive shocks in the rear to lower it....then built the sissybar from barstock aluminum...I built the turnsignals (iron cross) .....tank bibs fender bibs all homeade...seat I built with fiberglass covered with high density foam.....

after a couple yrs I decided to change to apes ....wired them in and bought new cables ect.....had to get diff mirror stems so I bought long ones and cut and bent them to suit .......next I found a 21 inch front wheel on Intruderalert website......here's a few more pix of her

I did the hogshead to be a "metric hog" theme
the next pix shows the oil cooler that I covered with leather and made a screen with the cross, also the homeade turn signal

one more pix of the tank:
