This forum has been a great resource for helping me complete this project.

What I did:

01. 14" Bonanza Z Bars from HCC
02. Demon Cycles Black Knurled Hand Grips
03. Heartland Integrated Mirror Turn Signals
04. 2" Tank Lift
05. Heartland 19" Front Fender
06. Powdercoated V&H Short Shots
06. Heartland EZ Rocker Rear Fender kit; Had the struts powdercoated wrinkle black
07. Heartland Medium Rear Turn Signals
08. Had tank and two fenders painted gloss black (no more flames!)
09. Installed Progressive 2" lowering bolts (still looks like it needs to be lower IMO)
10. Curved Vertical License Plate holder from Road6Customs (axle mounted)

I have quite a few lessons learned that I will type up later; just wanted to post some pics in the meantime. As soon as I was done I immediately saw things I wish I had done differently and mods I want to do in the future. Please feel free to send me come critques...I certainly don't feel I'm done with this project. If anyone has any ideas on how to handle that mess of cables (throttle, idle, brake, clutch) please shoot me a line!

looks good bro. and yes i think it does need to be lower

 

looking real good...
either lower it more or get a 260 rear on it...

 

Great looking bike! Only thing I would address is the large gap between the rear tire and the fender.

 

looks killer man. i like the lights on the rear fender, real nice work congrats!!

 

Bike looks good. Seems those bolts would have lowered it more than that. Are they adjusted all the way out or in. It almost looks like they are in when they should be out not sure though. Otherwise looks great!

 

Beautiful bike! the tank lift is all the difference in the world. Address the fender. Air ride..

 

Very nice !!!

 

Yeah, I'll take a look at the bolts again. I brought the progressive bolts to my local harley dealer and asked them to lower it as much as possible. They finished at the end of the day today and they are closed tomorrow and monday. Looks like I'll be visiting them again next week to see what's up.

They rolled it out and I just assumed that was it but the more I look at other rockers on this forum that did the same thing, I'm not seeing the same gap.

 

On the lowering bolts the initial thought would be the shorter the bolts the lower the bike. But the way they actually work is the longer the bolt the more it pushes the wheel up into the fender. Also make sure they set the pre load a little hirer to handle less travel it will ride much better.
