If you look close you can see the rightside of the apes are bent back a bit. You can also see the golf ball size dent that i have to work out of the tank. All in all though the bike was a bargin and i love it.

The chrome stripped off nicely on the nickle plated parts. Harley must use quite a thick nickle base. I didn't dip the shift shaft, the pegs, or the shifter connecting link rod because it has rubber boots over both swivle joints. It cant be powder coated so there was no point. Just going to paint it.

This is the look i am going for. I love the wide glide look and the negative 1° trail on the fat bob. I will be using my stock rims and tires now but i will be upgrading to new ones somewhere down the line.

At the sellers place, first time ever riding a Harley and the first time getting back on two wheels in 20 years. Test rode it with out even a permit. I felt that HD low end torque and i was sold. I had only ridden one street bike and many dirt bikes before this day. I was very impressed.

If you look at the bars the right side is bent back 4" , you can also see the dent in the tank and the sheared off hanging tail light. So this is my starting point.

Against better judgement I rode the bike 20 miles home, with no cycle endorsment. I couldn't find anyone free to trailer it.

Got my permit. Rode about 60 miles with the bent bars and began the tear down of the front end. Holy crap, who ever wrenched on this bike must of had very limited tools because i found several bolts with stripped out allen and torque bit inserts.

Forks are off and tubes are disassembled. Used youtube as my guide. I marked, labeled and numbered everything as i went, by writting with a sharpie on masking tape and sticking it to the parts. I did this because I knew it would be a few weeks before I got a chance to reassemble the parts and I knew by that time I wouldn't remember the order to put them back on.

Here is the Jims tool and to the right is how the dies and wedge should be lined up inside the old race or the new race durning removal and install. I highly remomend using this tool. It makes removal 100x easier. I also saw a video on youtube where a guy was using what i think was a plasma cutter to cut his old races out. So apperantly you can do that also.

Here is the tool. See how the die's have a tapered edge. So for example if you're removing your top race the die's woukd be flipped upside down so the taper of the die and race match.

Here is the drift inserted through the bottom of the head. I didnt have a cameraman so if i hadn't inserted it yet my right fingers would be over the die's and wedge to keep them from pushing out while i inserted the nipple on the end of the drift into the bottom whole of the die. Once the drift is in the die hole you have hold the drift perfectly center and straight so the race inserts evenly. If the race is going in correctly you shoukd inly have to give forceful taps, you shouldn't have to pound

Here is the new race installed. Remeber to grease liberally both the race and the race lip inside the head. The top race went in with no problem at all because it's much easier to keep the drift true coming from the top. I had to start and remove the bottom race three times before i got it to go in straight. It went in deeper and straighter after each attempt. Remeber do not force it. Just stop, remove the race and star over. Do not gouge the inside of your race cup.

I put my zerk on the bottom because 1, i had to lock the sleeve in place and 2, because all the harleys that had zerk's from the factory that i saw had them at the bottom in the general area i mounted mine. Looking at the picture now i woukd think the zerk would be better at the top so the grease didn't have to fight its way to get all the way back to the top bearing. Hopefully it pushes up before it starts pushing out.

I could have trimmed material off the end of the coupling so it did not hang down so much but it is way above the race so i figured i woukd leave it so there is something to grab on to in case it ever needs to come out.

I used a 6" piece of 2" inside diameter thick walled galvinized pipe i had laying around and i bought a 2-1/4" socket from a local autoparts store for 25$. Mark the owner of DunnRite Bikes did the welding for me, thank you Mark.

Here is where the oil lock/fork stop is covering the bottom holes i drilled. RT says it will not be an issue so i hope they are correct. If you drill yours only drill above the factory holes.

If you look close, the outer rightside of the fork oil seal has a slight ledge that sticks out, the side with the ledge faces down during installation.
