Hi All,

Stripped for the winter build. Before...



Tins off to be painted, Swing Arm and lots of little bits to be powder coated & box of goodies from HD. Now...



First time I have ever done anything this major & so thought I would document as it progresses. First to go on was a tacho that came with the bike when I bought it last September.

Plan is FatBoy bars, SS lines all round, easy clutch kit from Burley, Screen, different indicators (not decided on what yet, replace fittings with SS... and more as I think of them!

 

cool, can't wait to see the progress!

 

Easy bit to start with... the first test fit of a screen. Got hold of a 2003 Deuce screen from Facebook and fits a treat. Took a little fiddling with the fittings but more due to my inexperience and nothing having a set location.

 

And, then with the indicators lowered to see how it all looks... ok so far!

 

You're off to a great start...enjoy the self-satisfaction & pride of working on your own ride. Can't wait for the finished product.

 

SE HT Leads... just 'cos they look phat! (sounds like I'm down with the youfff there!!! )

 

SS Fat Boy bars trial fitted... not torqued yet but liking how it feels. I may yet change the risers for shorter ones but happy for the mo'.

 

Looks good, paint details?

 

Colour is a very deep purple, the same as used by Citroen on the DS4. Harley Davidson script on the tank will be in silver and sliver pin-stripes on the mud guards. Should be finished the back end of next week.

 

Had a re-think on the risers and decided to use the shorter ones. Then found the new ones have blind holes and the clamp bolts are now too long... gave up for now and will wield the Dremel tomorrow to shorten the bolts.
