Default New shift lever

I installed a new shift lever. It took all the slack out. Thankfully the shaft was not stripped. My 95 inch build now has 677 mi on it, and one win under its belt

That gold is so gorgeous I wish you would have painted the insides of the fenders to see more even when it's on a lift

Remembered I still had one good saddlebag in the attic that matched my current set (the other bag damaged by a guy who high sided his ride and claim paid for new bags) so I pulled it down thinking I might just switch em for now. Figured out I could remove the buckle from the currently malfunctioning bag and use parts from the good saddlebag as replacements. No need for new saddlebags!

She's a beaut! Those shocks look sick. I would love to have that axle adjuster, the OEM MoCo adjuster SUCKS! Especially when you're trying to move the axle forward.

Mine is grooving pretty bad. Another reason I wish I had gone with a 55t rear, the 51t gives me alignment and slack issues because of where it lands on the chain.

I’m going with a BK chain slider. The set up will be 13” shocks/23t front/53t rear. I’m hoping the chain is not rubbing too bad.

If possible, I plan to swap out from 13” Legends to 14” RWD’s.

I definitely could use a couple links in the chain. I'm gonna run it and see if I have any issues. Worse case scenario I have a new spare chain I can throw on. All that's left is filling the transmission and installing the exhaust.
