What cap did you use on the shaft when you removed your heel shifter?

Installed my tie down brackets, mustang seat, CVO wind splitter, and stage 1. Yep, probably going to powder coat the brackets..

Trying out some new handlebars to see if I can get rid of the pain in my back. H-D Road King Fat bars in black. My dealer was able to locate some for me, since they have been discontinued in black from the MoCo.

These were my first ever install routing wires through the bars. I was able to feed everything through without removing the wiring connectors, except the R/H turn signal. Other than that, it was a pretty straight forward swap - although much more involved than plain old-fashioned wiring outside the bars.

I'm going to ride around with these for a while and see how I like them.

If you don't like them, let me know and I will buy them from you.

Well, the M8 stock mufflers have a nice sound (acceleration & decelleration) compared to the Twin stock mufflers. In Switzerland we are quite conservative: non EPA mufflers = 1'500$ fine.
