Getting closer to being done.


The engine is back together. Bike is running again. The bars are wired and brakes are bled.

I still have to wrap up the pipes....but I haven't decided on what pipes to run. I have drags on the bike now but I am not in love with them. My local Indy had a 2 into 1 take off they let me take home to try on....but it doesn't fit with the mids. Bummer.

Waiting on a bracket for the speedo....the tach is coming off.

Also trying to figure out if I want front signals.

Before pic and "current" pic.

Looks good, nice job, how much did you end up lowering the front and back overall. The more I see black apes the more I like them.

I'd grab some small turn signals for the front and throw them on the bottom tree. I'd rather go without too but I want people to know I'm turning. I grabbed minis for the front and back. They look better in person.

I have 11" shocks on the rear....the stock shocks were like 13". The front is down an inch plus whatever amount 3 degrees more rake added. I didn't take a before measurement to compare.

There's a set of progressive 11" for sale near me for $50, think mine are 12" stock. Just not sure I want to go lower, it seems low now

With the 11's I needed a shorter kickstand. The bike felt like it wanted to tip over when it was on the stock stand.

And its a PITA to put the bike on/off the jack...I have to roll the rear wheel onto a 2x4 to gain enough clearance to slip the lift under the frame.

I think my fxdl is a little lower stock if I drop it I might regret it. You have me rethinking the whole black lowers, headlight, trees and bars now though. Not sure it would like right without the blacked out engine. I might have to spray them.

Keep the kickstand, just remove it and grind down the tab the contacts the frame. About a 1/4" should give you the lean you need.

Looks awesome. Love the color, but the bike just looks good regardless of the great color.
