Surely your rides done now Dean? It sure is still the Dogs & I can't see it wanting for out else?
It's crazy, it's like one riser is higher than the other?? Makes no sense to me but the solution sounds like it'll work....just hate to have to trim it like that. Thought I'd roll it as is for a while until it cools off in the garage enough to maybe unbolt everything and check alignment one last time before I cut on the top cover. I'm just wanting to do the back fender and maybe hide remaining cables off the handlebars.

Nice job, still need some amber passing lamps though....LOL
Mark thanks man! Agree, it should be standard kit on the Deluxe! I'm going to order the amber lights!!!! LMAO I've been putting it off trying to decide which direction I was going with the lighting. But what's $15 for some film in the meantime??? LOL

Been out of town buddy. So sorry for the abrupt PM responses, did the best I could with my woman hanging all over me. ha ha... Glad it worked out for you, I have to admit, it seemed that yours did give you more trouble than mine did. Not sure why, but it is what it is...glad its finished and it looks perfect, really happy for ya man. I was so happy with mine too. I took a few pix of mine at a bike show last weekend, got Junior to tag along for the first time too. he seemed to have a great time.

Im telling ya man, we need to get these two babies together soon, an East Coast Vicla mini-fest! Ha ha... and before Bobber starts talking chit, Im gonna give him a preemptive "suck it vato!"

No problem brotha, I'm grateful for all the info you shared! Hope she didn't beat you to bad for not being able to stay away. LOL I'm still just baffled why the riser cover is like it is. Checked it again today and the nacelle housing itself is flush and symmetrical etc. Guessing I'm going to put this new dremel bit to work and just trim out the top cover a little so the right side will set down.

Jr looks like he's ready to take over when dad moves up to the geezer glide! LMAO

The bikes looking good, ya damn show *****! HAHA Hell yeah, we'll have to link up somewhere...an east coast meet would be sweet! Rolling Thunder next year would be pretty kick ***.

I love mine ... I still have to tweek on it now and then. It gets a little buzzing, almost a whistle, once in a while. I've added some thin padded tape in a couple places to firm everything up. Takes a while to get it all straight, but it's worth it.

Agree, I'm really digging it now that I've had it on. I think I was more frustrated from the heat and all which killed my mod buzz...lol
