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.
Confirm. Especially for the rims of FLFBS Fat Boy it works for cleaning and protecting.
Got the bar positioning dialed in and put a few hundred miles on this weekend. Here is the bike in current state (about 11k miles):
- Tab slip-on with Zombie baffles
- Harley crash bars with short angle mounts and airstream highway pegs
- Corbin solo seat and back rest
- 14" Cyclesmith California Lane Splitters
- Magnum Shielding Brake upper and Clutch cables
- KST extenders for electronics, signals and TGS
- Gustafsen 15" vented shield and lower wind deflectors
Next up: maybe Harley DRL Signal replacements up front *and the new rears as well*. Maybe finally do the air intake and tuner.

They look great. What is the final width on them with the handgrips on? Thanks
Mounted these mini combination tail lights. Much smaller and brighter than the originals. Also the tail tidy bracket I fabricated the week I got my bike almost two years ago I finally got around to painting it. Not that you can see it but it was starting to get a bit of surface rust.
Tail Tidy
Looks clean, I've been debating ways to clean up the back of my bike. How'd you do it?

Tha ks. I’ll try to get out and measure them later. They are 32.5” before the grips and I can’t imagine the grips add more than 1/2”. One reason I picked them is that they are so close in most ways to the stock bars. Here is a comparison:
Stock bars
Bar Diameter 1.25"
Tip-to-Tip 32.00"
Pull Back 7.00"
Rise 7.50"
Base Width 11.25"
Knurl Width 3.50"
CycleSmith 14” Cali Lane Splitters
Bar Diameter 1.25"
Tip-to-Tip 32.5”
Pull Back 7.5”
Rise 14”
Base Width 9”
Knurl Width ?”
The grip area on the new bars is tilted down a bit more than the stock ones, but I. Don’t know those numbers.
