I like the look of the sleeving over your bar wires. Looks like a nice tight braid with a flat finish. Maybe nylon multifilament? I've been wanting to get some Techflex NM (nylon multi) but I don't want to buy full spools.
The tire is nice and dark and rich looking, which I like, but I never use tire dressing on my bikes. Paranoid about traction, I guess.
I have the stock throttle cables and clutch cable, I'm hoping those work, but the stock front brake line wont work, it's an odd configuration that attaches to the stock mini apes via a small diameter metal line that then transitions into a rubber brake line.
Here is a link to the exact pinch bolt chrome caps I bought.
Oh, and edited to add: I ordered 2 sets. The hardware on the Arlen Ness caliper adapter is also M8 allen. I can finally fill the caliper adapter hardware and the pinch bolts

It says it fits a 2006 Street Bob, not sure if it has 90 degree ends where it attaches to the front caliper. I'm not sure if it necessarily needs 90 degree ends.
Too expensive. Oh well, I'll cross that front brake line bridge when I get to it.

yeah, that's just the original wiring sleeve. and no tire dressing. I never use the stuff. I busted my *** good and proper on a 78 Honda CB550 once doing that. Good thing I was going slow around that corner. Once is all it took.

Thanks for showing that HN. I recently used the big uhaul utility to trailer our two bikes from FL to our new place in GA. I was too dumb to figure out how to use chocks in that trailer so I just used boards to support the frame and ratcheted them down. Now I will know for next time. Thanks again.
No problem bud. As long as you have a board to support the part that "clocks" the tire your good.

Well, damn. I guess I just need to do a better job cleaning (hate it!).
The stock wire sleeves on my 99 are ugly as f'k. It's sloppy, wrinkly, black tubing. Ive replaced 99% of it with standard Techflex, but it's not weaved as tight as I'd like. I actually ordered a batch of their "Tight Weave" a couple days ago because I couldn't find the Nylon Multi in the diameters and lengths I wanted.
That is some good kit to have. Spiegler is what I used on my sport bikes and track bikes. The Goodridge I linked you to is also tier 1, Spiegler has even more options. Either way you go, you're going to have a great brake setup
From: Depends on who wants to know.........and why.
Aye!
I re-positioned the bike in the shop. I can already tell the "betterness" of the progressive springs just by rolling it around in the shop. I set up what I want to do the wiring. Cleaned up the shop a little. Maybe I'll mess with it tomorrow.
