If anyone is looking for a good way to relocate their turn signals and get their license plate to lay down this is what I did. www.easybrackets.com $89 to do it.

As soon as I get the experience to ride into town, I need to get new bars. My tailbone hurts.

Yup what he said . . . I did my own with some guidance, not a hard job if you have the right tools to get the electrical connectors apart. make a map of the wire location, TAKE YOUR TIME. It will make you appreciate them even more.

$560 is a **** load of Beer

Good Luck.

This is my wife's Fat Boy and she wanted the engine guard. It is fine except my big foot keeps hitting it when I hit the brake pedal. But it is her bike and not mine. I was worried about it ruining the looks of the bike but it does not look bad.

BTW, when I attached that picture it came up as a thumbnail. how do I attach a full size picture? Sorry, new to this forum.

[quote=Kito;7465231]Im looking for some insite from you guys who either painted or powder coated your forks. If you painted them Im assuming you just used a rattle can and went for it. But to powder coat them you would have to take the forks off. How big of a job is that to do?[/quote

I don't think I would paint them. My forks are powder coated from a guy on eBay. They were around $150 shipped and cost me $100 to have them installed by an independent shop. They make a world of difference in the way the bike looks.

I just put street slammers on mine and didn't change any hoses/cables.

The brake line just needed to be rotated slightly at the master cylinder.

X2 here, get them powder coated, rocks and bugs will kill a paint job pretty quick.

I had a local shop quote me $50 to strip and powder coat my fork lowers (assuming I take them off)

That's what the dealer told me but I ended up needing the clutch and throttle cables too. I put deluxe bars on mine with the 4" risers.

I had to change them all out as well.
