Wow... that does suck.....

So much for HD parts.... luckily I now get many of my consumables (gaskets) from Cyco Gaskets...

This weekend I reinstalled my primary cover after having it powder-coated black. I also put on a custom dirby cover with art that gives my bike a WWII theme. I also relocated my headlight to it's original position above the shock. The previous owner had moved it below the shock and I didn't like the way it looked.

Primed and curing for 9 days before a sanding, some minor body work and another round of primer.




Also upgraded my air ride switches now that they stick out more from the tank.




I also ordered a chrome engine mount. Just because….

Those switches look nice. Where did you find those ?

All I'm finding are switch extentions for trucks....

They are switch extensions from Hoppos, there are cheap eBay options but I wanted metal.

Haha. These showed up today. Will put them on tomorrow. While I’m at it I’m dropping the front end another 1/2”. Pics will follow.

Thanks man. I’m super happy with them. The front is a 21x3.5 with a 130 tire. The back is 18x3.5 with a 150 on it. They’re 52 spoke rims. With the twisted spokes. Got them in a horse trade.
