Try www.brcustomcycles.com and call Billy for your custom fabrication needs.
I've got a set of mini sweeping beaters being mounted as we speak.

Yankees,
probably too late since you already placed your order, but I used the following cable lengths:
  • clutch - +6
  • brakeline - 54"
  • idle & throttle -+6
You certainly will not be disappointed with Carlini and Magnum products.

Good Luck.

Yes sir, we do have Carlinis.
They are not on our webpage, but you can always email me to find out availability and pricing.

I don't think they have the Carlinis, not sure, but they will have everything else you need. And my experience was that no one else came close on the price. If it isn't listed in the site, give them a call, that's what I did.

Getting ready to do the bar changeout here in the next week or so as soon as I get some free time. I know I'm forgetting something and hoping you guys can help me out. Here's what I got so far.

-Service Manual
-16" Carlini Flying Apes 1.5" dia
-High Roller risers
-Magnum throttle, idle, clutch and brake cables
-NAMZ wire extensions
-New gaskets for clutch cover and pipes

I'm sure I'll need some tranny and brake fluid. Any recommendations?

What else should I need to complete the swap?

Thanks!

Get some fuel line pinch pliers. Makes getting the crossover line easier. 6 bucks I think. Also you'll need some 5/16 fuel line and a plug for that job too. I was told to use Redline gear oil in my trans. Put it in this weekend after I changed the the clutch cable cable. Pretty thick stuff. Came out like ketchup. Maybe it was a little cold sitting in my garage. Have to check into that.

Thanks for the info, didn't even think about the fuel line.

Anybody else think of anything I'll need?

Can't you just slide the tank back enough to get to the wire harness?

I've heard people say I can do it both ways but I'm not 100% sure. I guess I'll just have to wait and see when I get to that point which route I'll need to take. I'll try to be prepared either way.
