Yeah, it's a Harley sissy bar. I figured if used a sissy bar, I could mount my T-bag vertically and it could double as a backrest on long trips; which is why I am going to mount the rack to the front. If you got a buddy in the stainless-steel business, you've got it made.

I like them because they are a lot brighter than other braided cables, even the Harley Diamondback cables. They cost less, too. My dealer didn't have the brake lines with the fittings I wanted in the catalog, so they called Magnum directly with the specs I mentioned above. It came to around $70 with my 15% discount I get through their MVP program.

The stock one had sections of rigid metal line that didn't conform to the path I was running it through. I came up with the 42" measurement by using my wifes sewing tape measure (ssshhh), and strung it from the master cylinder to the caliper.

I live about 3 miles from SPHD, in Woodbury. I usually stop in there on Saturday mornings and hang out with my old man and his buddies. During my project, I could be seen there 7 days a week!

Quote That's what I was going for. But the color doesn't have a name. It is a House of Kolor concoction, made up of about 4-5 coats of bright purple, 4-5 coats of gold kandy, and 4-5 coats of clear. Plus various hardeners and what not. A buddy of mine painted it for me. Unquote
Awesome looking machine you've got there. I agree with Mimo though...some before/after pics would be nice, for comparison sake. Don't we all wish we had a buddy with the skills/tools to do the custom paint job on our rides...lucky you! I'm jealous...[&:]
