Just Bit The Bullet...
Ordered my AME Chopper Kit a few minutes ago... Started taking the tins off for the custom paint that is going to be started on next Monday...
3200 bucks lighter... and I'm not smiling yet...
Hopefully that comes when I put it all back together... lol

RE: Just Bit The Bullet...
Woohoo! Which rake and what overage did you get? Also did you go for the 41mm tubes or are you gonna stick with the39 mm tubes?I wonder if you have to change your headlight out or will it have the right parts to bolt your stock headlight back onto the trees.
Ifyou can could you post some pics of it going together like someone else did with the 1250 conversion they did. That was pretty informative.
You lucky bastard, I want that chopper kit so bad I am about to get out one of the credit cards that I made my wife never ever use again since we paid them off last month. [8D]

It's the eight over tubes...
Yeah... the head light is supposed to mount right up...
I bought the chrome lowers this past weekend... don't look like much for 300 bucks... lol
You want a video... with all the cussing and stuff... or just stills... j/k
I'm not much of an instructor or technical writer for that matter... I'll give it some thought though...

oh man i lose my mind when i take stuff apart. i started doing my bars late at night one night and knew if i went home i wouldnt be able to fall asleep knowing my scoot is in pieces so i sucked it up and stayed up pretty fricken late. it's worth it once its all back together though.
its kind of wierd even when its 20 below outside and your bikes in pieces you still get pissed just knowing your bikes in-operable. i hate it!

Haha I'm the same way harleyj4585 
dbleagle I'm with you, I think the 39mm tubes look better on the Sportster but I do like the chrome lowers. Where did you pick up the lowers from? I was thinking the 14 rake with 8 over for mine too.
Pictures would be fine with me but if you want to do a video then that would be cool.
