I've changed exhaust, air cleaner, and started tearing down the bike.

I'm changing the stick wheels to 2012 slim wheels. It is not plug and play. The hub of th slim is wider, so the rear pulley had to be ground down to fit. We're still fitting it.



The pulley has a grind spot for softail, dyna, and FLT. We ground it for FLT.

Learning a lot. For example. 2007 HD -first year 96" 6spd trans. But I put my BDL on, the bearing is different than 07-up. That was an ordeal. There's a guy on eBay selling BDL kits, he puts them together, by ordering all the parts separately, but he doesn't send everything that's supposed to be in the kit. Long story short, he didn't send both bearings. And I had a little issue with my belt drive, problem has been rectified. I'll post pics soon.

Don't let anyone tell you a 2012 slim wheel will not fit a 2007 springer.



BDL drive.



Tank shifter.



The other side.
