Everything should arrive in next couple of weeks and wrenching will begin.

I don't see any better way to spend the tax refund, do you?

Which Batwing did you go with?

Impatiently waiting for the postman and UPS guy to bring:

Chrome Belt Guard
Chrome Oil Tank Cover
Chrome Ignition Cover
Chrome Curved Laydown License Frame
Chrome Carburetor Top
Turn signal Relocation Kit (front)

This is all for my "new to me" 2003 1200C Anniversary Edition (black/silver) that I bought last week.

Next week I'll probably order a LePera Bare Bones seat, and a chrome battery cover.....and probably a new set of Harley footpegs.

Default Painting

Pulled tank and repaired a couple big dents. Painted it black, instead of original red. Need to pull fenders now too. Any body have good info on removing the rear fender on an 06? What tools are needed, etc. Thanks in advance.

I can attest to the improvement in ride handling. I went from 21" to 18" wheel with fat 120mm tire and the new control on the road was a revelation.

Just installed a round of Figure Machine parts.

Sanded all the paint, bondo'ed some dents in the tank, and getting it ready for paint over the next few days.
