I think there is no screen attached. 7” looks way higher on photos on internet.

Default Thundetbike torque handlebar installed in original riser

Finally my handlebar is installed by the dealer. They also installed cruisecontrol in the process.
my posture on the bike feels better! About 2,5” more pullback and about 1.5” higher. The bar is about 4” less wide. First impressions and handling feels good!

I have a pile of parts accumulating here and I’m itching to get them fitted!!

Some parts are at the powder coaters getting a matte black cerakote.

- Trask Assault Air Cleaner (outer ring, bolt heads and velocity stack to be cerakoted, also going to apply smoked film to the Perspex window)
- Trask Assault 2-1 exhaust (entire exhaust and heat shields/bolts to be cerakoted)
- Trask external breathers for air cleaner (bolt heads to be cerakoted)
- Trask CheckM8
- 2xBaja LP4 lights (will smoke tint the lenses)
- Bracket to mount lights
- Skene IQ-275 controller for light high/low beam
- Lower rocker covers (to be cerakoted)
- Assortment of black bolts to replace existing silver bolts around the bike.

This thing gon’ be murdered out!

Default Memphis shades installed and CarPlay screen

Worked on the bike yesterday. Installed Memphis shades. I get them to the painter next week to put gunship grey over the high gloss black finish.

Needed 12V ignition switched outlet for my Carpuride CarPlay screen. HD has got an assembly for that.
you have to open the USB box under the tank and put a cable harness into that. To open the USB box you have to lift the tank. It was a lot of work. Does anyone know how to remove the tank without removing the tacho on the tank?



The default tape put on by Memphis Shades. This is butt ugly and the double sided tape is visible and prone to dirt and insects

Got a car door protection strip from Amazon which makes an very nice and clean look

There’s a grommet on the frame just in front of the tank that the tacho harness feeds through.

Remove the grommet and there’s another connector.

Disconnect that connector and the tank will come off with the tacho in place.

Yes! My Memphis Shades Road Warrior is back from the painter! Very happy with the results!
this one is with the 7” glass and the part behind de glass is still gloss black to accentuate the contrast.
