Default Sporty getting a little makeover

With winter here the sporty is getting a little makeover. First I finally got the shorter jiffy stand after I had lowered over the summer. Always made me feel nervous parking it. Second went with Harley's mini apes. Most say my brake line and clutch cable would work with the mini apes but there is just no way. So I'm going to have to order longer line and cable. Lastly the 13 spoke mags were pulled off and at the shop now to have the tires swapped onto a set of nightster wheels.

I've found all too often that things we are promised will work won't - at least not to my satisfaction! It's wise to be cautious and to do things well, finding out as we go along.

Quick question for ya: I also have to pull my wheels off for a tire install, any issues you ran into getting the wheels off the bike?

Cheers!

Not the best picture but I got the new wheels on and the mini apes. Just waiting on the new brake line and clutch cable to come in.
