Then again, they all do

Color code is actually from a Mini Cooper called Astro Black that I had a body shop guy I know reprint my bike a couple years back. Has pearl and some blue when you look up close, but from far it does look black.

Glad it is all done.

ALL NEW FLUIDS IN THE BIKE!

Man that Redline trans shock proof looks like PeptoBismol, lol got great reviews so I thought I try it over the Spectro (which I had not complaints).

Thanks man I appreciate it. Cant wait to get on her, but the white stuff, u Calif foke aren't so familiar with, is stopping me right now lol.....suppose to get hit with quit a bit more morrow.

Just from pulling in the clutch I feel a slight softer pull w/ the motion pro clutch cable. Definitly would highly recommend.

So did you get that Barnett clutch installed? No pics of that going in... Did you decide against a new clutch basket? Will be interested to know how the clutch pull feels with the new clutch and how you installed it - buy a press or pay?? I an still on the edge of a new clutch, bought the SE clutch spring because the Barnett is soooo stiff.

Planning on freezing the new bearing for easier install (heard that helps). Pressing it in myself for sure. HD wanted almost $100. Gonna chance and leave stock basket (funds holding me back).....way I ride I should really get a better one for sure.

Heard clutch pull w/ 6 spring set up is a bit easier compared to a diaphragm spring setup, so hoping it really will.

The SE spring 100% breaks in and softens up after the first 1,000 miles.

Looking incredible! Which bars are those? I picked up some wild 1 8 inch drag bars with pullback. A little concerned that the pullback may not be any better than stock apes.

Thanks man. Drag bars I got are Drag Specialty Buffalo Bars that are 1.5" & of course taper to 1". Definitly what I wanted, but the holes for the wires had to be drilled hell of a lot bigger though, which I didn't like....no biggies though drilled them a bit more and put some enamel black (looks factory now). They don't have much pullback, which I didn't want, so it's perfect for me.

I'm 6'2" so going from my Burly 13" setup, which was perfect shoulder level to these it quit the difference being lower, but I'm shooting for more of a drag/street ripper setup though.

Before you run the wire though them just mount and sit on your bike for a true test fit, but Wild1 makes really nice bars.
