Installed a new T Man No Loss air cleaner. Probably won’t see a gain over previous extreme ventilator, but always wanted this one, so did it. Made my own external breather kit.

Did not do this today - been probably 2 months, but swapped out narrow straight drag handlebars for FXR Division G Series bar 14” black. Loved the look of the straight drags, but arm was going numb after a short ride.

Pics aren’t the greatest - getting dark.

Yes - they offer several heights, black/chrome, and versions with straight risers or a little extra pullback.

That is one good-looking Street Bob. Those wheels really did the trick.

thanks (I'll let her know)

we both come from a chopper background so this is her first stock bike (and Harley come to that) and so now long out of its warranty-jail
we've begun all those little changes you can do to make it her own and yet keep the practicality of the suspension/modern motor etc

the new wheels have highlighted the remaining bright works of the motor and the rear pulley etc...
so that's high on her priorities to murder out. fork covers going on shortly (hopely straighter bars to)

The guy that runs it deletes posts as soon as the item sells (assuming the seller notifies him), so the page is pretty easy to see what is available.

As for wheels, I've used RSD in the past. I have a set of HD 13 spokes sitting in my garage. I can't decide if I'm going to put them on my Street Bob. They may go up for sale.

I bought an 18 softail brake pedal for my m8 fat bob from one of those ig profiles.Never got the part,never got my money back from the bank either.SO LISTEN UP PEOPLE....IF THEY DONT OFFER PAYPAL.....DO NOT BUY.

Adjusted the sheet covering bike to prevent dust collecting on rear fender. Awaiting latest approaching storm with 18-24" of snow predicted.
