Thanks. I actually already had it. It was just getting my gallbladder removed but I am in a lot of pain and can't lift anything. I can barely hobble around right now.

I think that's why they invented oxycodone.

Well, I don't drink at all but I am taking the hydrocodone they gave me. I'm bored already after two days and there is only so much call of duty I can play and Netflix to watch.

Or a t-bar setup like this. I don't like my hands below my shoulders

I'm a buckhorn guy so I really can't help you but if anything similar to my 10-in buck horns on my Dyna, I guess I'd go with the first picture.. The other ones look a little, I don't know you can hardly see him to be honest with you but don't really care for him...

Well, I made progress, but I hit a snag. I thought the fork stops on the lower tree would work with the Softail neck, but they are too low. I don't want to run internal fork stops so I went looking to see what would be my most effective option. My back up plan is to just build my own stops but I think this lower cup will work

On a side note, the sunpie LED headlight I got doesn't want to sit flush in the bucket. I may have to mid it to make it fit.

I have been thinking about where I want to run my oil pressure light and hi/low beam switch. I think I am going to cut two little holes into the top of the headlight eyebrow for them.
