Default New Sportster Bling for the wife.....

Looks good, I'll get a few pic's after they are installed...








BTW, when installing the large cover, will I need to drain the primary first?

yes. the primary cover will release the oil if you do not drain it first

if you stick a 2x4 under the kickstand before pulling the cover you shouldn't loose any tranny fluid

If you straighten up the bike it won't drain the fluid.If it is on the kickstand in normal position it will leak tranny fluid.

Thanks for the help.

Here are a few more pic's from our ride this afternoon. It was a good time. We are a bit sad as I have to go back to work tues in Alaska and will be gone for 28 days, but the 14 days off make it worthwhile.:
