Sorry, can't help you...I got the same bug.

Just started tearing down a perfectly good bike and remaking it.

Please document the riser swap. XL1200C here too, and I think of doing that swap often.

Yea, I made the mistake of totaling up all the goodies I'm getting ready to put on and almost fell out of my chair. I can only imagine what you've put into your bikes.

I will definitely be documenting as much as possible but I got a lot of info about what I'm doing right here on the forum. ajbra put the riser replacement up in a pretty concise thread https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...nd-photos.html

Default Making some progress

Came back in to put up a pic of the bike like I bought it so this thread has some continuity





Thought I would post some progress pics so far. Really pleased with the way it's turning out


Tear down complete



Bar mock up



Soldering in the wire extensions



New grips, levers, and switch housings



Custom coil relocation mock up
