I received my tins from custom chrome for my slightly beat up 1989 heritage softail. Going to be doing a "Lucky Sucker" tank and tank adapter, "two-ton-ho" rear fender and fender mounts. Also got a "hardbody" springer front end, looks to be DNA but supposidly better chrome and stronger rockers. Also on this build will hopefully be doing a 200mm conversion from a 150.


dented n dinged up tanks n crinkled front fender

 

so I got to stripping ....

 

removal of fenders was straight foreward unbolting. Rear fender brake/signal lights undone from the connecter under the seat to make this part easier until remounting side mount for brake and license plate.




drained fuel from tanks. Removed the dash cover, tank bib and unbolted the tanks.




used a reciprocating cutting disc to cut off frame horns.

 

I am now on the part where I'm fitting and adjusting.

 

gonna look sick there man, i have the lucky sucker rear fender on my bike, probably gonna do the tank soon

 

the kit was designed for TC models so as I suspected the slightly different frames would make this a bit more work. Adding/cutting mounts for fitment. No biggie....I hope.




this was to see how it'd kinda look.




so just as I would suspect....the wiring would have excess left... since I'm omitting the dash lights and speedo...I now have these extra wires for my ignition relocation. ANY HELP OR IDEAS? Do I need all these wires or little thingys that the wires are bolted to? lol

 

thx, I sure is hell hope it looks sick haha.

 

Do you have any plans for stock front end and tire? I would be interested in them if you would be interested in selling them. I want to swap my stock fxstc front end for the heritage front end.

 

it looks like that tank could sit lower in the back. probably gonna have to move stuff around to get it to lay flat

 

the front end will be dead last on this build. However I'm going to see how this all looks when complete the sheet metal and wiring (either this front end stays on or put the springer I ordered on or...find a stock HD springer which would rock.) Let you know tho.
