Upgrading the 1993 FLSTC
I'm looking at some upgrades to my bike which has been off the road for some time. It's a 1993 Heritage Softail FLSTC which I purchased new. I have purchased v&h pipes yet to go onMikuni HSR42 already as well.Nike has a Andrews EV3 cam in it with adjustable pushrods. Buying parts as I find and can afford them. I am more than happy to buy second hand and have found some great people in Australia for that via FB. Now I'm based in Australia but happy to buy OS and ship if I can find them comparable to Australia. 18*3.5 rims front and back. Whats the better brands. Fat spokes. Lowering kit front and back 1 1/4 bars and raisers LED lights + fog lights and LED indicatorsHas anyone used Chinese stuff? Alibaba or the likes. Are they any good? If you have any suggestions with links it's appreciated. Cheers.

It's probably OK in either forum. You're asking about mods other than engine too and the bike is indeed a Softail.

My main comment will be about the cheap stuff. In my experience building two softails from the frame up, don't go cheap if you can help it. Simple things like cable clamps and such are fine cheap. Get good hardware. Buy well made parts with good chrome that will not pit and rust. On eBay, there are a good number of folks who part out complete Harley's. They are a great source for OEM parts if you need them.

The only cheap stuff I'm looking at are the LED front lights dog included.
. Everything else will be OEM or quality after market. Lights just seen to be lights, and searching it seems a lot are the cheaper stuff just rebadged.
