nope. Sorry if the sarcasm wasn’t apparent in my post. I didn’t even take it in yet. It just started working as soon as I called a mechanic. I’m sure it will start acting up again once I cancel my appointment. Just to make me look like an idiot.

Haha, I reread it and now I see it. Who's the idiot now.

Default Breakout console

Has anyone here eliminated the handlebar mounted guage in favor of a more traditional tank console and guage? I saw one in a YouTube video. Love to do mine. Like to know what model of console works.

Me too, only for the newbies. 18+. I think awhile back there was a long assed thread on using a Fatboy tank. Expensive project.

Dug mine out of the back of the garage today. Gave her the once over and fired up on the button for the first time since October.

Got my bobcat on. Had to rehang it and use two screaming chicken gaskets per head. Starting to break in the brawler seat so I can get it reworked.

Thanks man! Ya I'm excited for paint to be done. If it's not obvious from my forum name, I like choppers and chopper styling. I wasn't a huge fan of the minimal fender that came stock. It just didn't fit the bike, IMHO. The wrap fender fits the theme much better, IMHO.
