Default Front end off.

Just thought I'd show you a pic of the work in progress. In the middle of installing Chrome front lower forks, painting my inner fairing and rear light surround, putting in new cables and a Hogtunes amp.

Looks like your having fun. I do most of my own work as well as was thinking of doing this after my engine, How hard is it? I have never really looked into it. Make sure to show us the finished product as well.

So far it has been easy, but time consuming. Since it's winter here, I am cleaning and waxing each part. I will post the completed pics when done, in about a month.

Looking at your jack placement. Did you bridge over the rear channel to get a level lift?
