Looks good Wally! Now just pop off those tank emblems, and the tank will be super clean!
lol I would love but I can’t make my mind up on that
I love the clean look
but I do like the small badge too
now to take that rear reflector off the rear fender 👍
I recently purchased the Arlen Ness micro oval mirror’s. I wanted to flip them upside down because it provides a better view. When I installed them they were hitting the tank. I purchased the extensions on Amazon for $20. After installing the extensions the right side does not hit the tank when it is inverted. However the left side does hit the tank badge when handlebar is turned fully. Any ideas how I can adjust left side?

Hi Rob and welcome to the forum.
I've gone to apes and don't have your style of mirror so probably can't help but I'd nevertheless suggest you post pics of the left side of your BO with your new mirror in the proximity at issue. Both bar / tank area and a closeup would be best. It may help get some ideas flowing.
One thing I did have to resort to during one of my mods were 10 degree angled bushings which tilt your risers slightly forward, (or back).
Try rotating your bars or your controls slightly..there might be enough wiggle room in there to stop the mirrors from hitting the tank.
Yeah, that ∆∆∆∆. Also, it just seems like you should be able to spin the post itself enough to avoid hitting? I got those exact mirrors on mu FXBR. Love. Can at least see now. Good luck
Has anyone done a final drive chain conversion? I'm thinking about doing an open primary, and if so, figure I should do a final drive chain conversion while I'm at it.
Well, since I've replaced the battery, no more LO RNG issues on start up. I think the original battery was just weak and would cause the ECM to **** itself or something on startup... I don't really know, but I do know that dropping in a fresh Drag Specialties battery has made the problem go away...for now
