Default XL1200C build

This is kinda where I’m at with my bike. Using these bars. 14” Wild Ones Reapers i believe. Went with smaller risers and relocating the speedo with a joker mount. Bars are gonna be internally wired with new Willie G grips and levers.
Got a nice Bitwell HB 2 up seat and detachable sissy bar with rack. I already converted all the lights over to LED. Just a couple more things and it will be ready to ride.

Cool! I need to check out those apes. Once I am back from Daytona I plan to switch over, but still undecided with whose bars I would like to go with

I’m also tinkering with the idea of adding legend air ride to the bike. I happen to stumble across this whole air ride set for free. It was laying around at work so the boss told me I could have it. I hooked it all up on my bench at home and it works. Box came with 3-4 complete compressor assemblies the first one I grabbed worked so it may be worth a shot. The mounting plate is for a touring bike but I maybe able to make a bracket to mount to the sporty. Even came with the handle bar mounted switch. That’s a $150 score right there. Lol

I have the day off tomorrow but I’m going in to work on the bike. I’m hoping to have the bars wired up and mounted tomorrow. Gonna scope out the bike to see where if any is a good spot to mount the air compressor. Might just hold off on that till next winter. I’m always looking for another project to do. For now I may put on the burly slammer shocks and take off the Harley lowering shocks. I was reading through some treads and saw a good idea. Instead of lower shocks maybe a nice set of 12” with lowering blocks. Nice ride and a lowered look. Kinda what I’m hoping the air ride does.

Got the bars wired, grips and controls on. Put the seat on and adjusted them. These bars are sick. I’m definitely liking the look and feel of them. Just waiting on the relocation bracket for the speedometer and it will be time to button it up. I did t think about it till I was headed home but I’m gonna put the gas tank on tomorrow to make sure the bars don’t hit.

Put the Burly shocks on today and tested out the gas tank. I don’t think clearance is going to be an issue.
