Thanks guys! Unfortunately progress is slow at times, most of my time is taken up at school. Plus I kinda like doing a little at a time, riding it, seeing what else I don’t like, and then working on that. Keeps things interesting.

You've done a great job with that old bike. My first Harley was a 2002 Road King Classic and a lot of the changes you've made are the same ones I've gone through in the past. It was a nice walk down memory lane.
Has the old owner seen the bike since you started working on it? I'd like to hear about you keeping him in the loop and up to speed on the progress. I'm sure it would fill his heart in a way that riding no longer can.

IIRC, back in those days the swap from factory King bars to the Heritage bars was pretty common.
That was a good read. You have made a very nice bike for yourself.
What type of paint did you use to fill in the derby, inspection and ignition covers with? Any special prep to the chrome before painting it?

I just used testors hobby paint, brush application, and let it dry for a few days before installing. The chrome wasn't really smooth from the factory, it has sort of a textured look, so I didn't bother scuffing it before applying the paint. Its holding up great so far.

A little update here. I got the risers on for the last time. Ran the wires through the new handlebars and started putting it all back together. No unexpected issues so far! Stock cables look like they will work, so I got a set of barnett black vinyl cables. I think the black will work with my black accents. Also I'm not really a fan of how stainless lines yellow and look crappy after awhile. I also ordered a new set of front brake lines, the correct master cylinder for 1.25" bars, and a throttle grip extension to put TBW bars on a cable throttle bike. Its coming together! I'm hoping to have it all finished by the first week in march.
