I used the stock blinkers and these clamps, 48/49mm.

Wirenut,
Check out Amazon for Harley fork clamps 49mm. There's a bunch of them for less than $20 and they worked just fine in my Softail Standard

Got caught up in all the moving tasks and unpacking but two weeks later I finally found some time to complete my new bar setup.

Biltwell Tyson XL pullback 14”
Biltwell gauge mount
ODI vtwin lock on grips

no extensions of any wires, brake line or clutch cable needed







Please ignore how dirty she is. It rained on the drive to the new house and it was in an open trailer and haven’t had time to wash her let alone ride until today. She’s gonna get washed this weekend after some exploration through the new neighborhood.

Ended up with a fault code, I didn't double check when I was plugging in the connectors that the run switch was on and there were still a bunch of the connectors unplugged when the ignition started. Gotta dig through the service manual to find the procedure to clear the code.

DIAGNOSIS Mode on the Street Bob
  • Hold TOGGLE button (LHS switch gear, top left button) in and press START button
  • Let start cycle finish then release TOGGLE button
  • DIAG should be displayed
  • Press the TOGGLE button to scroll through the menu
  • Scroll back to the menu where there is a Y (indicating fault code)
  • Push and hold the TOGGLE button - the code is displayed
  • Release button
  • Push and hold the TOGGLE button when code is displayed
  • CLEAR should be displayed
  • Tap TOGGLE button once
  • Return to where ECM is displayed and the turn OFF using the START button
See page 8 of this thread for the link to a video on how to do the above and also a link to fault codes.

much appreciated, found a quick tutorial on YT and got it all cleared up and went for a proper test ride for a couple hours yesterday. Much better ergos and achieved exactly what I hope for with the bars being more narrow and pulled back closer to me. Not leaning forward anymore and have a bend to my arms now and can really lean into the back of the step up seat.

Anyway, the new levers are perfect now, thankfully , They were also nicely packaged, I bought them via Thunderbike.
They look really good
I did look at these but, as you know, decided on the Oberon Performance levers as I felt they had a slightly better ergonomic design, that is, could get them closer to the grip/bar.
They were also a bit cheaper (what with taxes and duties).
The main thing is that they work for you

Default Bung King crash bar?

Snake Eyes, is that a Bung King bar on your Bob? Wondering if it's wide enough to use as highway pegs and be comfortable?

PS: I removed the USB plastic box on mine too. Looks way better.

Thanks
