I have my cousins Rocker here doing some work to it. While here I changed the bars to drag bars from HD with built in risers and internal wiring. Nice bars but they sit very close to the tank and console. I had to move the turn signals as they would hit the gas tank if you rotated the hand controls to a comfortable position. So I fabricated a small aluminum offset bracket to move the left signal closer to the controls and out to match the right side.

Next up was moving the plate from the fender to the left side. I choose to mount the plate horizontally in an attempt to keep it semi legal in most states. While I was at it I installed a plate bracket with no visible holes and a LED light. Now this left the old plate holes in the rear fender. I used a fender hole cover that is generally used for a Heritage style Softail along with a generic black plastic plug. This will get us by until it is time for body work and paint.

Sitting there working on the bike I noticed how horrible the bolts looked so I covered them with a Topper kit, much better now. Now he need all sorts of specialty bolt covers for the miscellaneous bolts not done.

For some odd reason he wanted to change the wheels to wire wheels, not my first choice but than again it isn't my bike. I called Sam at Ride Wright and ordered a set of 60 spoke wheels in all chrome. Since we were changing wheels I ordered a 21" for the front and I figured I'd make it "Fit". This required slotting the fender mounting holes about 5/16". This is just enough to get the tire to clear the stock fender.

Since I had the front wheel off I measured the axle for a flush mount axle. (I'll have them on Ebay later tonight)

I have most of the stuff finished with the exception of the rear wheel. I may get to that in the next few days. I'd like to change the wheel spacers to some chrome ones to help compliment the front wheel and flush mount axle. The bike could use a shift linkage and a good left side mirror. From there detail pieces should be enough to hold him over for awhile.
