Sorry man... We like what we like and it means spending cheddar lol

Like I told you in the pm I used a hammer and punch to seat my race so I didn't have the turning issue just my own crooked eyes screwing me. Which after getting smashed in the parking lot I get to replace the stop and gas tank anyways so who cares.

You got hit again?!? I went back through some of your posts and saw that tail dragger fender idea you had.

Whatever happened with that home slice?

It's ready for paint, hadn't gotten around to it since I went and bought a road glide/couldn't decide on paint color. Need to shave the foam on the seat pan and cover it but thats all I lack.

Lady at work was yelling at a couple guys in the parking lot while she was backing in not paying attention to the backup cam/beeper... Needless to say trees met the left front corner of the tank.
For some reason I keep thinking white... As you can tell I'm still undecided on paint choice....

Oh snap !! I would have murdered that lady. Oh well, at least the bike was not in motion and you weren't on it when it got hit. I'm sure that helped minimize the damage.

I can't wait to see that fender on there!

Finished the trees today. Here is the front wheel mocked up. Called HHI today to ask about my axle. Still waiting on a call back :-(.

I'm gonna need to start thinkng about another alternative to HHI for an axle.

Any ideas anyone ?

I know this is not the correct axle, but this is the guy Jo was telling you about, try contacting him?

The 08 and up bagger axle is also the axle used on all current model Softails, as well as the Wide Glide and FatBob. Which is also the same fitment as the axle I gave the link for 2 posts up. From what I understand the left side lower on the Rocker is different than all of the others so these axles will not fit without swapping that lower.
