Scored a '95 FXDWG a few weeks back. Couldn't pass her up for $3500. Couple minor issues like leaky calipers but everything else seems solid.......
Threw parts on as they came in this week:
12" Miter Bars
Arlen Ness rubber mounts
Arlen Ness grips
short stocked mirrors
rebuilt rear caliper flushed brakes and replaced pads
Swapped oils
there in an Eagle gen3 LED retro kit on headlight
relocated license plate with bolt LED
Swapped the 16" front for the original 21" with twisted spokes
Love the feel of the new bars. Whole new feel gonna take some getting used to for sure.
Placing an order for some progressive springs for the forks. Probably replace bushings and all while I'm at it, maybe add a brace. Was bummed to find Progressive doesn't offer a rebuild kit for the 440s that are on the rear. Anyone make a kit that works for them?
WG guys noticed a big difference from adding the fork brace? Open to brand recommendations as well.
gonna get me some of those rat eye signals front and back as well.

Not trying to challenge you on that, but what's the problem? I've got a similar routing on my bike with tall risers and drag bars. Only about 2,500 miles so far with no problems, but I don't want any long term problems.
Thanks in advance.

I just want to say that I think Army license plates should be like a "Get out of Jail Free" card.
I think Army plates should prevent one from being pulled over for any and all infractions that don't involve harm to anyone else. And that most misdemeanors should be excused.
That's just me though.
Of course, that should only apply to the Army, all other branches should be treated like the low-life dirtbags they are, I mean, come on, we have to draw the line of dignity and respect somewhere.

Thanks for the heads up.

Not nearly enough but thanks for asking!
No doubt the likes of such scoundrels as Robby and Mchad are behind such an attack on my person, do I not bleed!

I'd route the clutch cable between the trees. Looks like it could snag at full lock where it is. I could be wrong. Happens from time to time

The bend in his cable looks pretty extreme. If it never catches , it is probably OK but I'd still route it between the trees.

Adjusted the headlight per the manual then took the bike for a slow spin around the neighborhood. Not taking it out for a road trip yet. There are a few minor adjustments to make. I want to check back over and make sure I got all the bolts and nuts tight.
