Hey guys - I bought the chrome coil cover and installed it today. I really like it. It’s well made, and definitely an improvement over the big black square it’s hiding.

Has anybody replaced their exhaust with true duels like the bassani's? I would like to add fishtails but the only other option that i have found is the V&H big shots staggered. From what I have read the 2-1 will perform better but it's not the look I moving towards.

If you want to do braided cables you have to replace the entire clutch cable (they don't make the new two piece clutch braided). I will get the length i ordered when i get home, you can see in the picture i order the wrong length clutch cable but the dealer was good about it and let me do a swap. If you have ABS brakes do a reverse bleed.

Good luck

I had the dealer do the bars on my old bike and it was not worth it.
Are they 1.5" gangster apes or 1.25"? I see you said 1.25" riser but just wanted to confirm. How do you like the 16's? How tall are you?

New wire wheels on the way (21" and 18"). Bassini duals as well as air suspension (bit of a bugger to fit as the compressor is where the crossover pipe is. Need to change the mirrors as they stick up too high. New seat and bars also fitted, as well as a custom made number plate bracket under the tail light. Really frustrated with the lack of parts - no headlight brow, but passing lights has them. Really want something for the centre console but don't like the HD part with the holes cut out. Thinking of using a touring bike billet insert modified, but need to get it with a slight curve to match the contour of the tank. Chrome lower forks to come but here in Australia, $650AUD for HD chrome lowers is a joke! Will get mine chromed for half that!!!
