[QUOTE=kingkupal1;15564272]Here is my Roadster. I did a lot of things to it. All works done by me.

6" Riser and Track Grips and Bars
Cowl Fairing
Projector LED Light - installed underneath the headlight.
Arlen Ness STG2 BS Air Filter
Arlen Ness MF Exhaust
FP3 Tuner
Burly Sissy Bar

When winter comes here in NY, I will be changing the risers to 12" and also
change the tank to 4.5 gallons.

Did you move your speedo? I had ordered some traditional risors that normally work with HD top plates, but they would not marry up underneath the top handlebar clamp!? Are the risors separate from your bars or t bars? Change or reroute cables, brake line? I ended up using 1.5" risor extensions which doesn't get the job done with new seat setting me back 2". The cables and brake line on mine already seam tight.

I bought a new gauge housing and clamp on the risers, stock cables. I have Biltwell risers which are fat at the tip, didn't want to grind it so I used rubber grommets on the tree. I'm looking to switching to 12" Westcoast T-bar which is 1" at the tip.

Would love to see a pic from rider's view of the cockpit when you get a chance.

Hey just a quick question about the Bobcat exhaust. D&D says it won't fit the Roadster due to the shocks being taller. Obviously you've made it work. Any details in making it work?

Thanks,
Jim

completely stock, been enjoying just riding it that way. May add a small wind screen for when it gets colder out.

I got a couple of “Roadster” questions for you experts;

Is the Harley Davidson Service Manual from the dealer for my 2016 XL1200CX model specific or is it for all 2016 Sportster models?

If I wanted to buy the HD 5-3/4" “Daymaker” LED Headlamp would I need the Vibration Damper and/or Housing Kit that Harley says “some models require”, or does it fit into my OEM set up?

Thanks

Just the air cleaner, Bobcat exhaust and Power Vision dyno tuned. We have a pretty good dyno guy down here and the bobcat is a power monster. We dyno'd one with VH Grenades and it was only pushing 69! So, don't get the grenades!

It will probably not be specific to the Roadster but will have added in all the extra directions for the unique stuff on the Roadster, I think.
**Make sure your dealer checks the part # for updates, it will be a new part number for after the Roadster was released.
I did not need the vibration damper, what I know, only the Dyna's need those

Had to bend the bracket and re-orient the pipe slightly. A good tech such as yourself should have no trouble with it. When installed without adjusting the bracket, the tip of the can will rub the lower collar of the shock.

*and also the bottom of the brake pedal (at the pivot point) will rub the pipe over bumps - mine has a spot where the black has worn off, but you don't see it unless you're looking for it.
