Last weekend I put a new clutch in, it’s one of those extra plate units, I was amazed to find that grenade plate in a 1200, didn’t know they used it in a 1200. Also got it started again after sitting for months, clutch works like new and everything else I did in the past 4 months seems to be working fine. Also got the oil changed.

Wow, that thing looks nice. Is that a 2000 like your sig says? Wondering cause I thought the hidden crossover came later.

He posted the info awhile ago in a different thread. What is listed in his sig is not this bike.

Details in the other thread show this bike is a 2005 1200 Custom.

hth,

Hadn’t posted for a while but I’ve been working on it. I added a saddlebag last weekend. This weekend I installed a set of Paughco 3 degree racked trees and started to install an oil pressure gauge. Did get to my body shop while they where open to get a quote for a paint job, wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be $1400 for one tone or $1800 for a tu-tone

considering switching to ?

Thanks,
