Cowbells are held In place using a simple strap clamp and 2 L brackets wedged between it aND the fork tube. Then I ran 2 bolts thru a hole in the L bracket directly into the 2 holes on the cowbells that normally bolt to the lower triple on FL models

 

So you pulled your stock lower legs off the full legs and replaced with the newer FLHX lowers, any issues doing the swap or is it just like a typical rebuild of the forks?

Also, I was wondering if putting a lowering kit in the legs would close up the gap.

 

That's correct. Same as a rebuild just used the flhx lowers. Needed 1 pinch bolt and of coarse the touring axle

And yes a lowering kit or moving the forks up in the triple wI'll effectively close that gap, I'm waitong to see what happens with the lower fairing panel first to see if it covers it, if not il do one of those two options. I'd prefer to not lower the bike if possible as I already drag exhuast on hard right handers

 

Quick sneek peek of finished product. Waiting on my fairing brackets to get back from powder coat, gotta start the inner fairing work b4 much else can get finished

 

Decided to ditch the cheapo HD tea straw air shock setup in exchange for a much more solid sturdy line and fittings. Still tryin to get it all ironed out

 

Anyone know where I can buy black 1/2" hose clamps by chance?

 

Can you drop the fairing down any, seems a little high up IMO.

 

Yes it will sit lower in the pic it is just balaced sitting on the quick release clamps, not the final positioning. Just a quick look at what it will be once completed

 

Did you purchase the lowers and wing new or used? If used, online or local?

 

The lower fork legs and cowbells were purchased from my buddy who owns a 14 SG for 200 (same as what u can score em for on evay)
The outer fairing and front 2014 SG fairing and front fender were found on Craigslist. I paid 200 for both which was a smokin deal as far as I'm concerned
