Gives a whole new meaning to "I always keep a finger or two on/in the levers"



levers are probably going to shortened stock levers powdered black. The naked lady levers are a little rashes up from an oil spot in the rain at an intersection and they look good but the air too far back so under hard braking and spirited riding I can pull them back to the bars. Bars are Lucky Daves 10" Sandiego Bars.

Which tank lift kit did you use and how many inches for the lift?

I made it out of some flat stock it's a little under 2 inches I believe.

Nice work on your FXDC! Congrats on finally being healed up and on some beautiful work. I think that the Super Glide (Custom and standard) is probably one of the most under appreciated Harleys. It's the best bike that Harley no longer makes!

Well I picked up the speed merchant brackets on Black Friday since they were running a killer deal at 30% off. Can't wait to get the calipers and get this thing mocked up and tested. Machining on these looks perfect!

Calipers are here and will be cleaned up and mocked up tomorrow, then off to powder!

Got the calipers cleaned up a bit and mocked up. Can't wait to get them powdercoated. Still have to pick up a 11/16 master, brake lines, and a rotor for the right side but it's starting to come together!

Not a big deal now, but I think you have the calipers reversed (side for side). Your brake lines/bleeders should be UP

...but going to look good
