I picked up a Wide Glide rear fender for converting the rear of my Fat Bob.

It was cracked and cheap which means I can weld it, make it stronger and include a number plate mount.

 

Changed lube in all three holes, installed Fumoto valves in primary and crankcase.

 

Put on my windshield that I got for $50...

 

I put the Biltwell Tyson Bars on today. The running of the control cables were a PITA with the 90 degree turn for the down tubes of the bars. But overall when I got everything buttoned up I think I'm going to like these bars. Not bad for the price you pay for them. I also put the new Barnett Cables on...I got them 2 inches too long, but oh well. I still have to finish up the mids install tomorrow, and throw the AC back on from running the cables. I need to cut some relief slots in the backing plate so the bypass hose does't pinch when I put the cover back on.

 

Put it on the jack and checked to make sure my wheel bearing aren't falling apart yet before taking it to the Michigan UP. Not enough time and too lazy at the moment to install my new bearings. Seems to be OK for now still and hopefully they'll hold up for about a 1,000 miles of riding. Fingers crossed!!!! Also cleaned the rear wheel of tons of brake dust while up in the air and I don't even use the rear brake that much..

 

Waiting on the AAR; you will love it in the U.P.

Come back solid!

 

Today I plasti-dip sprayed the inside of the memphis shades gauntlet fairing. It was previously see through so for $5 I wanted to see how it would look blacked out. I like the new look. The tape you see on the side of the fairing is reflective black tape for increased visibility when light hits it.

That looks sharp,
The more and More I see pics of that Fairing on these Bikes, the more I catch my self seeing it in my future... lol

 

There will be lots of pics and video, probably over on the other board also lol. Just praying the weather gods smile so I'm not doing it all in my truck instead Towing up there since we have 2 formal events and the wife would not enjoy riding her 600 Shadow 900 miles up there, 900 miles while there, and 900 miles back lol.

 

I finished cleaning up the engine while the exhaust is off - I think it cleans up well for a 12 year old bike. I installed the chrome transmission top cover and chrome bolts. Not sure if I will leave that on but I like it for now.
