Wheel is back on and the bike is almost ready for a test ride maybe Sunday if the weather is decent. I did shave about 1.5mm off the face of the drive pulley to make sure I had enough clearance from the swing arm with a 3/8" spacer between the pulley and wheel for belt clearance.

I had a couple of projects while doing this fender mod I found I needed the new brake setup and while tearing down the bike my left side down pipe needed to replace since the slip on had wore a grove in it.

I do want to thank Timberland for the inspiration to complete this project. I had been looking at his post from several years ago and spent over a year getting parts in perpetration to jump in and do it.

Also what have others used to cover the bolt on the fender that is for support bracket? I don't want to put the old plain black one back on.

 

Officially done with this project. Rode for a little bit Sunday morning to make sure everything was good no rubbing or odd sounds. The wife and I then rode for a few hours two up on the first good warm day here in NC.

The Wife's comment was you spent a lot of time and money and you really can't tell you did anything....I told her that is what I was going after and I can tell in the ride.

Thank you to the few that showed interest in this mod I know I wasn't the first and hopefully not the last.

 

I notice I didn't have a pick of the back end of the bike finished.

 

I just seen this thread, nice job. Reading through it I didn't see what you did for a swing arm. I want to change up my '00 from a '07 CVO rear fender to a newer with side taillights and a 2 piece rear caliper.

Sorry I just saw this. Stock swing arm but since I went with a 16" wheel I did have to cut a little off the brake bracket so it wouldn't rub on the tire. If I had stayed with and 18" wheel I wouldn't have had to do anything. If you still have your 2000 swing arm in yours you might need to change it to a 2007 swing arm.

 

@jmaniace i tried to send you a message through the forum but it linked me to your Facebook messenger just trying to get some information about the swap so i inboxed you on there thanks

I will try to help anyway I can. I don't post much in here but I do come back from time to time just to check things out. Here is thread I used to get me going and start my planning. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...0-install.html He has a couple of threads that I read through to get me started.

This forum is awesome to get ideals from. Much better than any FB page.

 

This was us on the Tail of the Dragon this year. So yes I'm still ridding the same bike HAHAH.. Getting ready to upgrade my front brakes to 2008 and newer style with new PM rotors.

 

do u center with frame or with swing arm?
