Here is my $3.34 shift peg extender mod. Can't see spending $25+ on something that just gets whacked with my boot. New pieces are in the middle of the first pict. The new bolt is 5/16 x 3", 24 thread. I also added a couple of lock washers and some loctite.

Made this backrest about 6 yrs ago for my FLHR. Piece of 3/16" steel from Home Depot, heat, beat and bend until it lined up with slot in the seat. Got the pad at a swap meet( from a Deuce I think). Less than $45 into everything Attachment 517293 Attachment 517294 Attachment 517295 Attachment 517296 Painted it gloss black when finished...

Lots of rainy weather here this year, made this mini tank lift with aluminum and stainless on lathe and mill in garage. Bracket raises tank 1 inch, maximum for clearance between tank ears and bottom of riser without sliding tank backwards. Polished the aluminum brackets and used stainless hardware.









The little piece of wood on the intake is to hold the front of the tank up with the mounting bolt out, the wire is on it because somebody lost the block of wood under the tank , ha, ha.

Made this solo seat backrest for my wife's Dyna. It goes under the seat and follows the contour of the fender to where the fender mounts. It bolts there and at the seat back. When a friend saw it, I had to make one for her too.
Sorry about the lousy pic.

Built this lift about 20 years ago. I've used it hundreds of times. Currently supporting my 2018 FLHXS. Made from 1.25" square tubing, welded in internal bushings, all grade 8 hardware, 4 steel swivel casters, and a 2 ton bottle. $80.00 in materials, and few hours under the helmet. Solid as a rock, and spins on a dime. At the time I couldn't find one low enough to fit under the wife's 883 Hugger. Lowered height is 4"

Default The thread I've been looking for

Build "stuff" for a living. So the Harleys always get custom, one-off and hand made parts;

Primary cover,(posted on what did you do to your Softail today.

Putting a second surface coat on today. Boeing Mil-spec, high temp. epoxies.

Air cleaner cover;


Made "sport bags, fork cover and Bikini fairing.
Working on a full front "Batwing" style. Picture a small Victory type. Templates are almost done. Need to break down and order tooling foam (expensive)
or bite the bullet and shape from MDF, (gag)

JM
