Default project "bling"
Well the little brown truck stopped by the other day...gettin ready to do a little wrenching. The only problem, I realized tonight is that I don't have the right tools for working on Harley's. Got lots of metric stuff from all my sportbike/racing days, but on this thing I can't even take the front brake calipers off. Guess I'll have to wait a few more days untill I can pick up some stuff.

Everything courtesy of Bart at Cateye. Still waiting on my cams, and I forgot to put my ridest8 in the pic.

Wheels are from Bart, shooter64 here on the forum, they are Forge-tec Creation 5's.

I figured the bolts were metric, but all I've got is 6 sided sockets, appears to be an 11mm.

Looks like he said "everything courtesy of Bart (shooter64 on the forum)".
