My left front turn went out in less then 1200 miles. Got all led's now except for my headlight.

 

Yea, I am really starting to like the look of the gloss black engine covers, expecially with the silver. The attached pic is the one that really put me over the edge in wanting to do the gloss black PC on the engine covers and oil tank. That's going to get a little pricey though.

How close of a match to the oil tank can you get with powder? I am considering doing the engine covers in Denim Black so that I don't have to deal with removing the oil tank (which will be a MAJOR pain in the ***). But I don't want to go that route if I cannot get an exact match to the oil tank or if it might look funny against the textured engine.

My wife also sent me a pic if the red 883 Iron and she seriously likes that one. At least that is the impression I got with all the "OMG"s, "SO PRETTY"s and the thousands of exclamation points. I liked the price tag on it. Either way, I rhink I am little too big to be riding around on a Sporty; she says I would look "goofy."

Yes, the Diamond Ice stuff does count as being bedazzled... My wife likes that stuff too...

 

I'm a bit confused, if you now have MORE ground clearance - why did HD give me a bad time yesterday when I ordered the forwarding kit cuz they said I now will have LESS ground clearance. SO, how many inches of clearance do you have at the mounting brackets, if you would be so kind to measure for me?

 

Has anyone installed and ridden a FLSTFB with the one inch RISING shocks?

 

Shotgun Shocks allow about 4" of travel so they will raise 1". Too high for my tastes.

 

A good way to check and measure clearance/lean angle is to have someone you trust hold the bike straight up. Now take a piece of plywood the length of the bike lay it on the ground against both tires the raise up the outer edge and you can measure the amount of clearance you have and compare it with your floorboards and forward controls.

I would like to get the look of the Blackline's heads and cylinders on my bike. And that Iron in the Red is one sweet looking bike. Saw one at the Dealer when we went in shopping for her Bling Bling stuff and her Boom Audio. That worst part about her bike is that it is louder then my bike I have 2.0 baffles in mine and she has Rush slipon's for hers but I have no Idea what baffles she has but it is freaking loud.

 

Yes you can get an exact match for the Blk Denim in powder. Your frame and swingarm are coated in it. Just take it to someone who knows what they are doing and you should be fine. Have the guy spray you a test panel before you take the plunge. Do not rely on a color chip from a book.

 

^ Dupont Black Magic is pretty much dead on.

 

Hi.

I have been enjoying my FBL as a solo bike for the last month, but now my wife wants to ride along, so I need some accessories. Looking for a backrest (detachable with small luggage rack) and a windshield (detachable). Looking for any recommendations for these items. Also wanting something black to go with my black denim.

Thanks for any advice.

 

If you go with a HD detchable sissy bar and backrest...signals have to be relocated close to back of strut. Not to sure on aftermarkets.
