Shield looks good slvrscoobie. Now you won't feel as beat up at the end of your longer rides.

 

Absolutely! Now of this rain would go away I could try it!!
Yup. Hopefully my neck won't feel so strained!

 

Finally finished my changes.
Lowered bike using Burley slammers. Cried inside a bit, but my ol lady is short. Rode it - surprisingly good, no bottoming out like I used to on stock shocks on Iron.
Changed bars - from drags to mini apes. Plenty of wires, but had to get longer clutch cable and brake lines.
Relocated blinkers to forks.
For brake lines I got dual lines banjo bolt and "make your own" lines from Magnum shielding - need to say it worked pretty good!
PM grips
Also got adjustable clutch lever. Changed primary fluid using Bel ray fluid. Still need to re-adjust. At first had problems finding neutral, now makes noise getting into 1st

Next : put crash bar on, TTI from DK customs.

 

yea man my garage is full of trumpets mostly bonevilles. kinda cool

 

Hahaha I didnt notice until your post my 2008 had the blinkers relocated! guess the previous owner took care of that for me


Always throught they came that way, but I guess not!

 

Will do. It may be awhile though. You know how life gets in the way of living.

Living is riding, cold beer, messing with the scoot, cold beer, wrenching, cold beer and banging on ****. Life is all the other stuff you have to do so you can spend time living.

 

Haha, going opposite direction. My Dyna is blacked out quite a bit, want something different. Too bad yours is 2008 - we could swap some parts

 

I stopped and picked up some tools I was missing tonight, and finally finished removing the old brake lever. Re-installed my exhaust headers and polished up everything on the right hand side of the bike. Hope to have the mid control swap done by this weekend so I can get some riding in.

 

Bought a iOttie phone mount to use on a road trip. Cycle Gear has them on sale for $24.99.

I used it on my way to work this morning and it seems to mount securely and gripped my phone pretty good. I'm not into the $800 phones so I wasn't too nervous.

It has limited ways to adjust when mounting it so it wasn't the easiest thing to get in place. Being OCD like I am, I got annoyed that I couldn't micro-adjust to get it at the perfect 90° angle. I always think things should be perfect, even when they cost less than a tank of gas.

Anyway, if you want a good bar mount and don't want to spend $80, this might be the ticket.

After a couple days of rain, I had a nice 55 mile ride in to work this morning. This was the first trip with a new American Elite front tire. I'll be needing the rear before too long.
