How did you prep the covers? Also, what bars are those and how much and where did you get them? AND what risers are those? lol Thanks.

I wrapped mine, just didn't feel like buying new pipes, and like the classic look. The wrap is DEI, and I used hose clamps

Looks great! I wish I had a spoked rear wheel on my Springer.

Start the wrap on the tail end and work toward the engine. This will layer the wrap to flow better in the wind and not fray as soon.

da sander w/ 80 grit followed by 200 grit. Clean w/ paint ready cleaner. Follow the instructions on the high temp paint. The good stuff calls for a baking in your oven.(smells like cookies...not really). La chopper knock off, sporty risers, clamp? God who know where you pick stuff up.DNA has good rims for cheap if ya really want some spokes.

lundee,

is that the stock tank? with the stock heartland seat? Bike looks killer. What year is it?

A buddy did research and found out who makes the HD profile rims and had a spoked 18" made for his nitetrain.

Hes running z-bars, heartland, relocated the ignition onto the side, AND a guy 1 offed a gxr steering dampener for his 4 degree triples...

"Tinny" sound, no low end torque. Its a stock 88 inch engine with race tuner. I want to do some engine work to get some low end

That exhaust in my opinion was made for the nitetrain. Unfortunately it sux for power.

Thanks for the compliments on the bike. Im finally content with it. I was debating about selling it. Its got roughly 4500 original miles on a 2006.

Is that the new "titanium" wrap that you dont have to get wet before wrapping? if so how was the install? hows the durability?

Don't have new disc yet, where are my priorities? Gonna try to see them Feb 5 in Chicago. I've been a fan since South of Heaven.
Thanks for the tips! You make me feel old because I've been a fan since "Show No Mercy". lol
