This bike is a joy to ride...solo or 2-up, short rides & long trips.

I got it in late 2012, and revamped it a bit, "finishing" it in April 2013. You can see the initial transformation at this thread-

I recently finished doing some more mods to it, just tweaking a little, here and there, to get it more like what I want.


When I purchased it (slightly used) it had an HD Speaker/amp set up on it. I've used it twice, just to see what it was like. So it was time to get rid of it.

Here is what it looked like-



The speakers were mounted on the windshield, an MP3 holder on the handlebars, an on/off switch along with volume control sticking out from the right side controls, an amp at the top of the engine guard....along with a bunch of assorted wiring.

Here's a pic with all that stuff deleted-





It is so much nicer with that big speaker gone from the windshield...feels and looks much cleaner.

Another shot from the front how it was...






...and how it is now, much more open feel-







Another mod I did in the handlebar area...I had originally put some 2" LA Chopper riser extension on. I have a bad left shoulder and on longer rides it really starts hurting if I don't have the bars in close to me. The 2" risers helped, but not enough.

I've had some Wild One Chubby 5.5" pull back risers sitting on the shelf for months. I finally took the time to install them.

You can see them in the pic above, and here are a couple more different angles.









With the handlebars a bit higher and much closer to me, it is MUCH more comfortable! They don't exactly follow the lines of the forks, but that is a form sacrifice made for my shoulder.



I also swapped out the HD grips that came with the bike for some super comfortable ISO Grips.








On the other end of the bike, following my personal motto of SEE & BE SEEN, I added some Run-Brake-Turn LED Lights to the bottom of the bags.








Also, in keeping with increased visibility, I swapped out the stock bulbs for LED Lights in the headlight and passing lights. These make a huge difference when riding at night, which we do a fair amount of.








Final thing I did in the lighting arena was to add Stealth LED Front turn Signals/White running lights. They are visible, even in bright daylight, at night they really pop.








We ride a lot of longer trips, and Mary wanted some more room, so we moved her back rest backwards a few inches.

It was a simple mod, I drilled a new hole in each of the backrest bracket arms, allowing the entire unit to be mounted further back on the fender struts.

I thought with the backrest so far behind the seat that her butt would be hanging off the back of the seat, but it doesn't and she is really enjoying the extra room.






To make changing the oil easier, and help cool down the engine temps, I relocated the oil filter to the downtube...






...this is where I used to have my oil cooler...







...so I just moved the Oil Cooler to the other side.







If you've read my Report on why & how to cool down a Twin Cam, a couple of ways to do that is with some Wards Fans, and to get the coil & fake seat post out from blocking the air around the back cylinder.

Here's a pic of the two, along with a Chrome Billet cover for the coil.







Final couple of things I did to add some comfort and looks was an Extended Brake Lever (that matches my heel rests) and gives easier control over the rear brakes.





New, nicer, slightly larger ISO brake pedal, that also matches my ISO Grips. Another incremental improvement that gives more control in slow speed maneuvering...looks good too.







I love riding this bike. It is comfortable, strong, and is the look that I have had in my mind since elementary school. With these latest mods, I am liking it even more!

 

I really like this a lot. What size braided line did you go with?

 

Thanks! It's 3/8" ID black fiber braided line.

 

what comes in that kit? 6' of hose and fittings?

 

Always loved your ride! Very cool!

 

Everything you need to install it. You can see all the details HERE. It comes with only 2' of nitrile hose, that is all the length that is needed, but there is an option for the braided hose.

Thank you!

 

Dig the HWY pegs. Need 'em in BLK. Haha!

 

Clamps & Heel Rest arms are available in black, but the actual pegs would have to be a different design to get them in all black.

 

Got a couple of night time pics of the LED Turn Signals/White running lights.




Yep, it was a light rain, but it has warmed up for a bit...gonna be 70 tomorrow, then day after tomorrow, snow is in the forecast!


Pic of right turn signal on-

 

Beautiful bike DK, i do have your oil filter on my CVO SG.
