I didn't see the one from Drag Specialties on JPCycles, but I did see it on Revzilla. Here's the link:

The seller on Ebay that I bought if from has another one that he's selling. Same exact one that I bought (same model #)

I did the same thing a couple of months ago but kept at the gloss black finish. Looks great and two of my friends had me do their bikes. These were done on the stock touring m8 oil cooler.

Very creative. And cheap!

Hi, I have a 2018 Sport Glide and had the same concerns about the rear lights. I bought the Canadian tail/brake light, installed it and connected the blue and black wires for the tail lights but I am not sure where to connect the red wire for the brake lights. I have the HD Softail Service manual but the wiring diagrams are not real specific for the Sport Glide. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks! After putting some miles on the bike after initially installing the risers the "right" way, I was kicking myself for spending money on something I wasn't happy with. After flipping them around, I am very happy. One of my few good recoveries... ;-)

What did you go with? Will be interested to hear your impressions if it’s something new to you. How many miles did you get out of the previous tire?

Dunlop Elite 4s. This will be my 2nd on the rear. I replaced the OEM tire @ 7,700mi. Just replaced the Elite 4 @ 20,800mi. I've been really enjoying the Elite 4s for daily commuting in all weather conditions.

New rear shoe for my Street Bob. Changed the rim from a 3" to a 4.5" off an FXDB but laced it to my hub. Covered it with a 160/70-17 Pirelli Night dragon. Don't think I could go any wider than that under my guard...
