Wow....great purchase!
Good looking bike....I know a lot of peeps are saying blackened out Dynas are over done/too popular, they still look great in my eyes. I like the black rims too....wanting to do that to mine.
Good move on taking the class, enjoy the bike, be safe.

Yeah, after he bought the bike I was over hanging out checking it out and I have to say the bug bit me right then
. I then started to look around at the different models and went and cruised thru a couple of local Harley shops. I just kept coming back to the SB in denim black but never pulled the trigger on one(even though I have seen a few on craigslist that caught my eye). Glad I waited too
. I like alot of the blacked out bikes, but not sure it will be the way I go. I like a little contrast, but I have had classic cars that I did chrome everywhere and it looks good, but damn I hate to sit and polish all day. That is partly what drew me to the SB in the demin from the start, more like a blank canvas. Im sure the bike will be a diff color at some point down the road once I get the fenders and anything that will need body/paint work done. Long process, but should be a fun one...even got my dad wanting a bike again(gave it up when us kids showed up 34yrs ago). Once its in your veins, guess it stays there

The clutch cable appears incorrectly routed.
The idea is that it loops over the handlebar, so that it can run parallel to the steering head at that point, to prevent the turning of the handlebars from having an impact on the clutch release action.
If a bike has a style of handlebar that prevents the cable from passing over, then it should pass under, so that it can still align with the steering head.
