Did a real quick mockup of the rear brake. Everything seems to line up and I think it looks better than the original single piston boat anchor.

I plan to tighten/torque all the front brake line banjo fittings -will flush/bleed the system later.

Check the clutch cable operation/adjustment. I dont think it's working quite right yet.

Just working the kinks out.

Received and installed a Saddlemen Explorer G-Tech seat on my Low Rider today. Rainy, crappy, day today...can't wait to take it out for a "test ride" when the weather clears!

Default LED's on my FXDC

After replacing the battery I lost the connection between the LED remote and the LED lights. I replaced the remote battery without success and then went to the LED main box under the seat. This main box has buttons and all the LED lights worked fine but I could not figure out how to reestablish the remote connection to the lights. After a lot of button pushing trying to make the connection and trouble shooting I went to the local HD dealer without success (no charge). This morning I was able to locate the FUSION LED(type of LED lights) light 800 number. After about a 2 minute call the tech walked me through a very easy process to connect the lights to the remote. Funny thing is, I am not crazy about the LEDs but drivers do see them at night.

The bike's clutch seems to be working OK-well enough for a ride anyway. No clunkier than usual. May need a little fine tuning later. I'll get those front brakes fixed/done tonight.

Rechecked the new fuel line, cranked bike, let it run, jiggled fuel line, no leaks.

The Custom Cycle Engineering #TB 2649-1 WG brace and the solid stabilizer link arrived. This is some very nice stuff

As per Chris' request, I'll install the solid stabilizer link and road test first then install the CCE brace and road test again to see what each has brought to the handling and stability of the Wide Glide.

Also installed the M8/10mm chrome caps on the caliper hardware and the pinch bolts; they were the last of the allen socket bolts that needed covered

picked up some new spark plug wire, SE plugs, HD brake pads and brake fluid. For some reason my bike is starting to run like ****. Random stalls, hard starting overall lack of performance...hoping the plugs will do the tricks. I last changed them about 20K ago.
