Goddammit, I so could've used those when removing and installing the shocks. It was a pain to use two jacks and jack stands to maneuver the shocks out.

The right side has plenty but the left is tight...I would say somewhere around .25 inches. If you look at any Heritage Softail it is the same way. They come with a 150 stock but the Dunlop 150 is a little smaller than the Avon 150. But man it looks good. Well worth it when you need new shoes for the little lady...

Nicer looking setup, but I think you need more chrome! . Nice cave for sure.

Well guys, I got the replacement pin in the mail today from JD. That guy went over and above on customer service. He sent me 10 spare pins, a spare connector and a SPARE SWITCH HARNESS....NO CHARGE. He sent them on Friday from Cali and I got them today in Ohio!

Anyway, put the chrome front brake caliper on tonight and fixed the wiring. All that is left is the progressive lowering kit and the new front wheel. With all that is going on at work, I won't get to that until probably next week. I'll post some pics when I am working it.

Thanks again all for the kind words and encouragement.

Got a few more things done on the scoot....

Got the billet shifter arms, braided koollines plug wires, braided fuel line put on.



Also got the chrome caliper and 21 Mamoth on the front...







I am having one hell of a time bleeding this front brake. I don't remember having this much trouble when I changed out my front brake line. I am going to give it a rest for today before I break something or get DOT 4 brake fluid on my paint...

I'll post some more pics of the whole bike after I get it cleaned up and the front brake fully blead.

The only left is dropping the front end but I am going to wait and ride it a couple weeks first.
