Damn PB you got some serious BLING going on that ride- nice. reminds me of my Big Dog build- Everything nice and shiny - And now that I got sick of polishing, I'm pretty much all black with the BO.. heh.
Invest in a lot of Wenol chrome polish, and Mothers Billet polish (the small expensive billet polish not the regular aluminum polish) - they both produce the best results with least effort. Simichrome is decent too if you can't find Wenol.
Can't wait to see it all done-

I stumbled across an old thread from 24v abiut the size of the flush mount axles. Thanks 24v for the info.
I ordered a Yaffe one, and of course it's chrome.

Starting changing out the front end today. Was using LA Dog's Sticky as my guide. I had read it multiple times but forgot one important thing. I am changing sliders as well and LA Dog did not.
Needless to say I hit a few obstacles.
The first obstacle I hit was not having a 12mm Hex bit that removes the bolt from the bottom of the tube.
I also took apart the tube prior to loosening the bolt... May be trouble may not.
I also did not realize I would need a fork rebuild kit to change out the seals to ensure I did not have any leaks upon installation.
I may even possibly need more fork oil as I purchased enough for the stock tubes. However, again im installing wide glide tubes which are 2.5" longer than stock.
Checked local auto parts stores, Sears, and Harbor Freight and none had a 12mm hex bit long enough to remove the bolts from the tubes.
Fork rebuild kit and 12mm hex bit ordered. Should be here in the near future.
Don't mind the wet concrete. We finally got some much needed rain.

A while back I got some Wide Glide fork tubes to change out my stock tubes. they are 2.5" longer which will raise my bike some. I am tired of scraping my pegs and not being able to corner very well.
It's already wrapped and secure.
