I just got some Lyndall Z+ pads for my springer... Is there something special involved in changing the pads on the springer front end? is it something I should take on or am I just better off taking it to a shop and have it done by a wrench

Purchased this bike in 2002 for my Father to ride, he has now moved away and I have the bike back... My other Bike was a Honda Valkyrie Standard, a great bike but not a Harley. I want to change the color and start customizing it.. any suggestions appreciated.

Well I did take a whack at it last night and it wasn't bad at all. Just undo two bolts that hold the caliper, undo screw that holds the pad, replace with new pads bolt everything back and voila.
I do however have one question. Do you guys have any play in the front caliper. I tightened both screws to torq specs but I do notice some play. I had never noticed this 'till now. Do you all have this? Is this by design? or did I ***** something up

Here is a picture of my 1995 Softail springer. The bike is a special color called Moon-glo, WhenI got the bike itwas 100% stock, except for the pipes,and carb. As you can see it has a "little" engine work, drag bars, badlander, and a few pieces of extra chrome.I also removed the sissy bar, luggage rack, and the extratri-lights on the front.I am putting on braided lines on it next week, and running the wires through the drag bars. There are many more mods to come, I just need to slow up right now...the wife doesn't know how much I have spent so far!!
