I did not measure the stock front brake line, but I put a 42 inch Goodridge universal line on it with black banjo's. The front caliper has a 45 degree banjo. Goodridge does not make a 45 so I had to use a Russell. The stock clutch cable was plenty long.
Thanks for the info. So it sounds like even though the wild1 bars are cheaper, I would probably be coming out around the same price because you have to change more cables. I am 6'1" so I really am not reaching so the wild1 bars might be alittle to close if they have more pullback.

Just got my Lo out of winter storage at the dealer. Had them install black lowers before putting it on the shelf. Finally got to see it and couldn't be happier! Bought short beach bars and installing them soon. Installed Cycle Visions floorboard extensions. At 6'0" they work perfect!
Trying to post pics but not having much luck. Can someone help?

My biggest challenge is going to be find a seat design I like better than yours. It's as close to perfection that I can think of and it's been on my mind for 6 months. I'm gonna try and top it by going out into the Everglades and shooting the gator myself and then meditate on the design with some indians. Maybe throw in some stingray...

Just make it your own bro! You will get the most out of it by coming up with a design that is completely out of your imagination. Your a FL boy as I was, so I get the desire for gator tail.

What really makes my seat is the quality of the hide. They rate them and you pay for each grade/quality level (kinda like diamonds). The 2nd secret is who tans the hide, make sure they have done it several times before.

I can tell by your passion that what ever you come up with is gonna be cool bro. The vision will just hit you one night and wake your *** up hehe.

Method 1:
1) go to either Photobucket, or ImageShack and make an account
2) Upload your photos to your online album. when they're uploaded they should provide you with a link to the image that starts with an [IMG] and ends with an [/IMG]
3) Copy and paste that link into the forum, and you're done.

Method 2:
If your photos are already online somewhere (i.e. facebook, etc), right-click on the image and select "View Image" or "Open Image in New Tab" depending on your browser.. it will give you a link in the browser bar to where that image is.. copy that link and paste it in the forum.. then just type [IMG] and [/IMG] on either side.. (with the brackets).. and you're done


...now I forget what I was going to write.. oh well i'll remember later.

Some of my best idea's have occured while taking a shower in the morning...I used to keep a notepad by the bed and in the bathroom till I got my iPhone/iPad.

I think once I get the approx. 30 mod's or so mod's I've torn down the bike for done in the next week or two, I'll just sit and stare at it for awhile, maybe something will come to me then. For some reason, I really want the seat to be unique and have some meaning behind it other than, "yeah, i ordered it online". Nothing wrong with that, that's pretty much what I have done so far, but this is different for me.

I'd prefer to find someone capable in South Florida so that it would be a face to face thing and I could see some of his work first hand.

Got my A/C in today, man it looks even better in person...

Caseyx, the AC looks amazing. I really want an RSD, but they are too damn much.

Side note to the rest of the thread, what fender bibs will fit our bike? Mustang says theirs will only fit with their seat, and the harley one is a little expensive. Any other options?
