Yeah the Accutronix forward control shift is very sweet, I recommend them!!
I wont be getting a hole in my boot from shifting, its just a tap to shift(easy)
Andsolvedneutral shift as well it is an easy to shift now when idle.

I am happy with em, and I just adjusted the jiff stand for a better angle lean and more footing... (took off upper washer/lock washer under the jiff to fc mount plate)

Hey Loader here are 2 pictures I took today of the T and the pressure sensor switch.

I ended up splitting the long tube holding several wires including the sensor wire, pulling it back (the sensor wire only) ..split enough to pull it all the way back to the T, plugged it on and then sealed up the split I made in the tube cover.

Oh I used some nylon ties.. it was already pretty stable in place as the Stainless Steel line is secure along the original hard brake line route. I put one tie on the T and two along the line going to the forward control. That's it... 3 ties and the two clips on the swing arm (didn't re-use the one on the engine tho) and the banjos themselves.

I am trying to convince myself to buy the FLSTF 07 Chrome front end kit... hah.. which is 500 odd dollars (includes everything) I am debating this....

St^^^dealer quoted me 3 hours labor on it.. feh that at 90 an hour LOL

I will do it myself if I get the kit. Reading on how to do it, looks like Ill need a metric allen ..11mm and it has to be long for them Showa shocks.. heh feh

Also I am trying to buy an XL Bikers Friend Bag ...they out of stock (grumble)
http://www.bikersfriend.com/index.html


So anyways...
Next in line list is:
Front End Lowers/uppers Chrome sliders
Pull back bars (of some type.. will figure it out when I get the bikers friend bag)
SS lines for the front.. na im not going for the chromite stuff..too flashy distracts from the real chrome stuff up front but looks better than black)
Auxiliary lighting for the front with turn signal relocation(bullet style) and will get smoked lens for them
Chrome out my 50cal wheels with chrome styled sprocket
Chrome Swing Arm
Then prob chrome bolts for everything not chrome heh.. thats it!!! lol
oopse!! ok new grips and passenger chrome mini floorboards... OK that is it lol
Oh no.. forgot lowering the tail 1" or so... air ride or progressive...hah then id need a new kickstand 1" lower as well!!


I am done then I think... besides (haha) chroming my brake calipers and putting in Lyndall Racing Brakes (Z-pad)

LoL 3rd time editing this post.. see what you made me do Loader...
One more thing? a Screaming Eagle 110 kit and a baker 6 speed :P Ok only if I win the lotto or at 100k miles or such, im at 2k now :P

Hey Loader (heh) you know Accutronix now has folding Rubber Style foot Pegs on their site.. rather spendy but they fit our FC controls AND they have em for the passenger rests as well(which is different than the ones for the FC mounts)

Hey vertigo14...I just read your wish list, very cool! And your Fatty is jammin' right now!

Hey...on your list you talked about the chrome front end and the tools required for the job...the cap screws at the bottom of each fork tube requirea long 6mm allen, not an 11mm!

I know your wanting to get all the tools together and I didn't want you picking up the wrong size!

Hey vertigo14...I bought a set of 6" allen sockets. The left side will accept a standard length tool, but the rightside needs at least a 3"-4" one.

And I'm sure glad you didn't ask my wife that question!

Good luck...

Steve
