Got around to putting some decent rubber on the bike and went with Pirelli Night Dragons, also added a bit of art a friend of mine did for my Derby Cover :-). Starting to run out of things to do now, I think the last big job is the tank size. I am going to get it cut and widened rather than a swap, and playing with some instrument cluster ideas at the same time.

Way too expensive ofcourse but totally worth it.
Ordered the Thunderbike Torque bar and estimated delivery time is 4-6 weeks.
Have an appointment to install the bar end of August and they are going to add cruise control too.
Can’t wait!

Bars are so nice to ride with and the gauge is real easy to read.
Phone mount also works perfectly.

Just a few more bits to ‘black out’ now. Lower rockers and rear pulley and a few bolts here and there.








I kept the original tank. I like the side-mounted tank cap. I cut off the dashboard bracket and had the tank repainted. The only thing that bothered me was the dashboard on the tank and I wanted to keep everything as original as possible.

I like what you've done here. I didn't want to spend the money on having the tank painted so went with the Breakout tank instead.

Although this is all moot now as I have a 5gal Fat Boy tank to fit with a Lowrider ST central console.

Got some updates coming soon.

Black FLSB 5 gallon fuel tank and pump
FXLRST tank trim
HD Gloss black flush tank caps
Ricks shorty adjustable levers
Extended clutch and front brake lines
Thrashin’ Supply Brake pedal
Thrashin’ clutch and brake lever clamps
Thrashin’ handlebar bag

These pics will have to suffice until I get more recent pictures with the new parts fitted

Some pics of the tank and pump from an FLSB fitted with the FXLRST centre console.

I love it, just waiting on the emblem for the top of the tank which I will customise as it says FXLRST!!
Also, need black bolts, and a solution to my saddle not fitting...

I may raise the tank at the front and elongate the rear tank mount holes to slide it forward 1/4".

Anyway... here she is.

Picked up a cheap HD bevel seat to see how that fits.

It fits better than the saddlemen but I’m not keen on the style or position. Seems to put me higher and further forwards.

Very happy with the tank. Rode a 70 mile trip this evening and the range states 150 miles remaining which is nice!

I’m currently contemplating a twin Baja LP4 front light conversion. One amber one white. But I think I’ll have to cut the fairing to fit them.
