In addition to my DNA Ape hangers, a Kodlin rear lowering kit, forward controls, S&S air filter that I modified with gutter guard plastic and screen from Ace Hardware, an FP3 tuner, and a Ends Cuoio swingarm bag, I modified my axle covers by sanding off the black finish down to billet aluminum, painted the majority of exposed bolts black with high temp black paint and an artists paint brush - (headbolts, transmission, primary, frame bolts, everything under the bike, even the bolts on the rear drive sprocket and that annoying bright shiny Vance and Hines logo), added a gloss black derby cover and shifter lever, used black electrical tape to cover the bright shifter linkage bar, added black spoke covers, BikeMaster flipped mirrors, a louder Denali horn, changed the grips and pegs to Avon, and removed reflectors and replaced with 3M black reflector tape. Now I just need the weather to turn to spring...
Looks real nice! Did lowering it affect the ride at all? I want to do that eventually too. The amount of mods planned in my head is growing by the day $$$$$$$
I'm back. 2020 Street Bob. Picked it up today, after jumping through hoops with a 2nd chance lender. This will more than likely be my last bike, but then, I don't think I could do any better.
Been out in the garage tonight trying to get some bags mounted on it, and cleaning it up a bit. Been working killer hours, so I have very little free time to ride, but right now, it's a little cold to be out there anyway, and, it's much fun to work on it too.
I repaired the docking kit, I made it like it should come from factory with the option to replace the black plastics if they are broken or worn out. I modified the oem piece, made a new loose
part that is also longer and the washers behind it unnecessary and then replaced the black plastic with black artecetal which if broken or worn will be very easy to replace.
@MoneyFor Love me some good elecro-coaeted polishers!
For this one, I did a "manual" polishing on the lathe with the best stuff there is for polishing aluminium from a brand called "Mothers", I polish aluminium for years now and this is the best product I came across.
