Looking good. It's a good thing when you can't buy exactly what you want and have to build, make, change it. Means that no one else has it.

i dig that battery cover idea!!!

 

That bikes gonna look great. On my setup I was also forced to run the fender lower than the factory bolt holes. Other wise it just sat too high and I had clearance issues with my sissy bar. Thanks for all the updates and pics along the way. I have been stealing your ideas for months now.



Love the battery box Idea.....humm, looks exactly like the one I used to have on my old FLH Shovel? jk........

 

Neil:

I thought I had given credit where credit is due ...

I'm going to try to mock the fender up on my bike this afternoon ... see how it sets with my QD sissy bar/rack ....

Looing good Todd, keep it coming.

I have had good luck with vice grips and angle iron for bending sheetmetal but I think it would cause you more grief than good on the cover.

 

I trimmed the front part of the fender last night ... took a couple of photos; but, didn't get a chance to post them up ... will plan on posting them up this evening ....

Also, spent some time wire-brushing the inside surfaces of the battery cover ... it was corroded pretty bad ...

Rick -

Thanks for the idea ...might have some application ... maybe throw in a few C-clamps and bar stock into the mix ...?

[I just now noticed you changed the mufflers on your headpipes to tapers ... or reverted to your stock ...?]

I put the stock head pipes with modded mufflers back on it. The Cobra's seemed a bit much noise wise but I like the looks of them better so I'll probably put them back on in the spring. That or I'll talk the wife into a Fat Cat!

 

I meant to post my progress photos on 'my thread' ... but, due to some inter-rectal cranium issues posted them on bikerlaw's thread ... a couple of photos below and a link to the rest of the photos of my recent work ....

At the risk of double posting.....awesome!

Anyways, are you just color matching the rear fender of are you redoing all the tins at once?
