Please note that the HD linkage in the pic is WAY overpriced, as is everything with HD, but in this case you can buy an eBay or Amazon linkage and spray it black.

Brother, every time I look at that bike it costs me a C note...this 100 bucks will be the least of my worries. I have a pile of parts I hated that I need to sell.

Since adding that shift linkage to my cart, I have found the black matching streamliner passenger boards, the short antennae, and the matching CVO backrest for my new CVO seat and pillion

I should really update my sig picture.

All I really want now is one of those Klockwerks front fenders, and I am DONE. I swear.

What I find is when I come on this forum it costs me money. So many on here do a mod and then come here and talk it up and I fall hook line and sinker next thing you know I'm ordering more parts LOL.
