I'm a Sucker for "Made" parts ... most of the time

Keep it up

 

Well ... how are you feeling about it so far ... Stoked?

 

Natedog, Multi is right. Your rim will be a little off center but your ride will be true. It looks worse when you put an over size wheel on it too...
It's when you crab walk you have an issue

 

Added the saddlemen highwayman blue flame tattoo saddlebags yesterday. Once I figured out how to mount them, it only took an hour.

 

If those "throwovers" are touching your fender, you may want provide some paint protection before it's too late

 

The blizzard or the tank??

I'm happy with the tank so far, but the best part is still coming.

The blizzard didn't turn out quite as bad as predicted. Still would prefer the high 60s we had a couple days ago though.

 

What do you recommend? The yoke across the fender was actually a temp solution but, I also put plastic push pins (like those in automotive store self help) up through the holes keeping the actual material off of the paint but, still the plastic is against the paint in 4 small locations. The sides of the yoke is bolted to the fender frame support and the bags reset against a bracket that I purchased last year. The bottom of the bag has a quick release strap tie-down which ties to that bracket. This morning I decided to remove the across the fender idea and I stuffed that material where the bracket goes and cable tie it. There seems to be plenty of support and nothing is touching any moving parts. Now everyone can see my fender decals again. Thanks for the heads up.

 

This was after I put the shocks on so that's what I was looking at when I took it. I ain't no photographer.

 

Looked for the source of a rattle around the engine nervous that I didn't tighten a bolt in the rocker box and it sounded like more than lifter noise. Relieved to notice the shifter levers were not tightened down enough to prevent the lever from loosening off the shaft so the arm was rattling against the mount.

 

My next item is riser and bar with a speedometer cluster - looking at Big Bear Performance in California. Also, considering changing my detachable windshield to a permanent fairing.
