Fatty,

Check out http://www.sumax.com/8MMCustom.html
You can either get the rocker wores or the universal set and pick which ever boots you want for the coil ends.
I go universal so I could get the color and length I needed, but I had to reuse the stock boots and crimp ends. Don't remember the set I ordered though but prices were not to bad either from what I remember.

Fatty,

Try this place, Taylor wires http://www.sumax.com/8MMCustom.html
You can get the set for the rocker or universal set, more colors to choose from. I reused my stock boots and crimp ends as the newer style coil is different, and the boots were a little bigger and did not water seal very well much better with the stock bits though, but I had to use lube to slide the boots on the wires...

Thank you for looking out man. Have to wait to do that for different bars.

Just saw on the HD site they're calling the Lo, the Fatboy special now.

Still waiting on those o-rings jim? Besides the weeping, is the new setup everything you expected?

Added alloy art led strut turn signals and the visor headlight trim ring. Will post better pics soon

And I agree.. take the heatshields and have them ceramic coated, or powder coated (which supposedly will hold up under the heat, but i haven't tried it myself) black. It'll probably cost you about $100-120 or so. There's a forum sponsor that does powercoating, and their stuff is really good.[/QUOTE]


+1 on the regular powder coating on heat shields. Shields don't get hot enough to affect PCing. I've done it on 4 sets of shields with no problems. A lot more color choices

DK Customs sells a couple different wire sets. I'm using the 10mm red screaming eagle wires with no problems

Beautiful 90 degree day here in KC. Of course it was super windy but I'll take the sun out anyway I can get it. Retarded *** weather. Three weeks ago it was snowing. WTF.
