A couple more are in post #1 of this thread. I used it first on my 15 street Bob. The mounts have wiggle room and they come with rubble strips that can be combined inside the sleeves that go around the forks to fit different diameters.

Default please

would one of you, please, mind running a tape measure from top of one of your front caliper mount to the top of the caliper mount on the opposite side of the bike? i'm trying to figure the spacing.

Please

As shared earlier, I already had the add on fuel gauge on the brake reservoir so I went back to the dealer to remove the fuel level display on the master cylinder while keeping the fuel level sender. Surprisingly, the fuel level on the tachometer doesn't work without that master cylinder!


In order for the fuel level on the tacho to work, u need to install the master cylinder fuel gauge as well! Weird but it is what it is.

BMW, KTM, Honda, Yamaha, Guzzi, etc all build large Adventure bikes, that each company claims that their bike is made for true off road/no road extreme riding. A properly suspended Sportster should be lots of fun in the boonies. Much rather ride one of these instead of one of the KLR 650's I once owned. too little power for the weight.
