Default Getting New Bars & Chrome Front End

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I just had to tell someone! My local HD shop is installing a chrome front end, Wild1 518 handlebars, new grips, chrome buttons & chrome control levers. Should be quite a difference to my 2006 Heritage Classic! I'll post pics when done & update my pic on the Heritage picture thread.

Here's the before picture:

I have a question completely unrelated to your topic. How did you mount the flags to the sissy bar?

It will definately change the look and feel. I just installed everything you are plus a chrome nacelle, diamondback cables, chrome master cylinder and switch housings. You gonna really enjoy it better.

Zip Ties! It was for a slow speed parade. Wouldn't hold up to highway use and would probably scratch the chrome inside rails after awhile.Your local Harley dealer has actual flag mounts.

Here's another pic:

I'm sure you'll be happy to get the bike back!

It's always exciting when your customizing the bike. [sm=smiley20.gif]

It's amazing how you can spend a small fortune on just the front end of a bike.

Looking forward to the Pics!

Bill,

Installing the nacelle is a no problems. You do have to drill a hole for the aux light switch, unless you find a way to use something else. Also, you can do it without having to cut/splice any wires if you have a wire terminal removal tool and just push the rubber boot through the back of the head lamp assembly. Go for it.
