Put some 12" x 1 1/4" bars on my Street Bob. Got a longer clutch cable, brake hose and wiring is JUST long enough but I'm getting a longer brake hose just to be safe. While riding it's fine but with the bars turned to the left (parked) it's maxxed out.

Default Finally got some online manuals for my ‘18 FLHCS

I like to have my owner’s manuals on my phone when traveling, rather than packing the paper edition. It always seems there is something I want to look up if I don’t have it with me.

I gave up finding the HD manuals free but got the owner’s manual ($4) and the full service manual, including wiring diagrams($10), for less than $15 USD. (I used harley.manuals.cc) The payment and download were seamless, all saved to my iPhone.

The manuals are just so user friendly in the electronic form! The table of contents is linked to each section so super easy to find everything. Especially handy for the service manual which is 1300 pages all by itself.

No pics but changed all three holes, 20k miles. I use Motul for all three, used it in my car and like it. Only bad thing is can't get it local so have to order it.

Hadn't thought about the full face helmet (which I wear). Maybe that's why I'd prefer the gauges to be up on the bars.

Not actually sure sorry, I got them second hand. Had to modify for TBW and then powdercoated.

Do you have more info on your mods? Part numbers or specs on the cylinder? and you just plumbed it into the standard ABS module?
How much difference did it actually make to brake performance?

That "system" does not have ABS functions, it is a standalone brakepump with plastic brakefluid bottle.


You can buy such a system for cheap on Aliexpress, even in black , so you can save on paint
