Hey Everyone
Well Ive not long ago finished reading every post in this thread & clicked on every link & copied all the great info Ill think I need to do the mods to My Lo.
Mind you Ive forgotten half already as this thread is getting bigger than Ben Hur.
One thing I couldnt find though is what exactly does the Dealer need to do to the ABS after I replace the brake lines when I install new bars?
Its just that the closest dealer to Me is 450kms away & I dont want to ride that distance with no front brakes & getting them to change the bars is not an option as they want $1800.00 (Aussie) to fit Street Slammers to My Lo.
Has anybody fitted the 2012 Fatboy bars to their 2011 & if so do you need to change the brake lines?
Im really just getting a list together now as the weathers getting too damn nice to be pulling it off the road Ill wait until winter now before I do much.

Ok, finally going to add my bike to this thread.
My mods include Street Slammer bars, diamond braid cables, Kuryakn Isogrips, Hogpro Indy Blackmagic wheels, Kuryakn laydown plate bracket, Kuryakn Pancea low profile tail light, Vance & Hines Big Shots staggered pipes with the quiet baffles and Smartpartz baffles, Performance Machines air cleaner, freight train headlight assembly and the lacked out LED headlight.
I have a bit more work to do, the biggest difference will be replacement fenders, but this is pretty close.

Yes under struts but with a caliper, havent popped it off yet to make sure....damn must be my 'Canadian' measuring tape haha.
I actually phoned RWD and regular 9" wont work with the struts and 9.5" is need for the Lo's...I didn't ask if the fender snugg will bring it in an 1/8 or not.
Edit...
I went back out to the garage...and Lawley u maybe right. Underneath the strut nuts, I am now getting a generous 9"3/8 lol:P Good eye!!!...I believe 9.25 will work just fine. 1/16 difference on each side wont need spacers or look different.

Thanx Lawley.
My chop man said no worries...if he has to modify the struts a 1/8 or cheat the fender...it's easy. Since he gets the bike anyways to match fender tails and fitting. it only be a few extra bucks. Struts will get PC'd anyways by next spring. This week I will make sure 9.25 outer fit is ordered.

Wow! I haven't been on here in forever! I like to see all the new guys joining in! Especially the ones with the silver ![Wink](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Well, I am deployed, again. Which is kinda funny since I just got back from my last one in late January and picked up my bike. Oh well, more time for me to save up for mods!
All of your sleds are looking sick! I am starting to pick up some new ideas again from you guys. Hopefully by this spring, my bike will have dramatically changed from the way it is now... I'm thinkin of giving it the WHOLE "old school" look, if that lets anything into your imagination.
This may, or may not, include spoked wheels, a springer front end, dual black pipes with fishtails and some seriously old school looking, giant leather saddlebags...

So while installing my passing light kit this weekend, I noticed a small rock chip on the fork slip. The black matte paint I found out was just bombed over chrome with hardly any stick to it....finger nail can eisly disturb it. WTF...cheesy imo. Rather rip their matte parts off and PC it myself.

If you are gonna take it apart that far, you might as well get the fork tubes PC'ed as well.
