Parcels arrived:
- Harley Drag Bars
- Rough Crafts Headlight Grill
- Jb Sporty Headlight Bracket
- Jb Sporty Speedo Relocation
- Jb Sporty Bar Clamp (houses original signal, oil, fuel lights etc)..
Was tight for space so these were the only Pics after fitting:
All parts fitted really well, I DID NOT need the £500 shorter cables that Harley tried to sell me. The standard cables worked fine, i will however be re-routing the clutch cable through the forks to take out that bit of overhang.

More parts came:
- Rough Crafts Air-Cleaner kit
- Rough Crafts Fuel Tank Cap
- Macs Fab Lowering Bracket Set (Yes i will be using this with the 11" Progressive Shocks *gasp*)
Played around to get the right height, settled for another 2" drop, keeping in mind the suspension is new, and the springs will settle after its first few rides out..
The Rough Crafts air cleaner is the most beautifully crafted piece of kit i have ever seen, and fits really well! (Also the bike no longer has the flat spot it had when using the k&n panel filter in standard air box with my set-up)..

Next up was the Shinko 170 rear tyre, and the Genuine Harley Forward Control kit, Remove the front fender and make a brace:
The forward control kit was relatively straight forward, had to loosen exhaust to get to the rear brake rod etc, but it went on well. And the tyre has made ALL the difference, not just to the look of the bike but to the ride and grip too!..
PS. The tyre was a pain in the butt to get into the UK from the USA!!
