Isn't that what you need to do in the wintertime It's time to ride now

 

Be sure to post some pics when you get the lowers on. Good work!

 

LOL I ride year round, hence the lower, soft chaps, 12DC and shield. I do this on rainy days or those cold snaps.

 

While you had it torn down that far 97% of the work to change fork oil was done.Did you do that ?

 

HD = Hardly Done... Not Hundred Dollars like some think.

 

I am going to keep this bike as stock as possible, Plus I tend to do all my mods in the first few weeks of ownership because I lose interest after that in wrenching..Hate it really.

Just adding convenience stuff (except for the cheap slip ons) NO paint, no Stage one. I never was one to remove a perfectly working part to replace it with a chrome one. I was never all tat much into chrome. It stands out more when it's only a few pieces, My last bike I removed a lot of the chrome or painted it with that rubber spray you can peel off.

I always want to know where I am battery wise and charging system. There are two indicators I added. The one on the bars which worked well on the Yamaha, and the HD pig tail which indicates low voltage. I had gone through three batteries on the Yamaha in 7 years. The HD will need more cranking power so I want to be more aware of what's going on in the charging system. That and tubeless tires are a must. I hate being stranded for that kind of stuff.

Pic is up with the lowers. 3rd pic. Don't like the black strip going over the chrome on the fork tubes but I am a function over form type. They have to be mounted on the out side when using passing lamps.

 

No only 2200 miles on the bike..But yeah I forgot. I think HD actually has a drain and can be filled from the top, Unlike my last bike where the forks had to come off or fluid pumped out...

LOL I will be done when the back rest and rack come in . The last electrical will be the headlight modulator and rear brake modulator.
Not going to do anything with the motor or add any chrome. THe one mod I would love to do is the colorful Speedo assy for $300. That thing is crazy good. I like tech (which is one reason why I'm leaning Indian Chieftain)

Maybe pick up that mod if I decide to hold on to this bike for the long run. I am not sure because its an odometer I can buy this used on Ebay like the rear passenger hardware.

 

I will get better pics for you today. They do not come in Chrome though except for the Soft Tail. ( I didn't kike the chrome ones. The back works with my bike.

I may have bought the chrome because they have this strip where they are fastened going up the fork tube on the out side. Its black against the chrome fork tubes and looks like ***.

When I post pics maybe someone will have ideas on how to put some lipstick on that.
