I completed the install. I was surprised but Home Depot (HD was closed) had the 5/16"-20 thread socket-head screws that were missing from the kit. I also had to buy a tap & die set to chase the threads on the new shift lever. I figured this won't be the last time this problem will show up. I'll have to get used to the bike now, but I like it better. It's got to help on longer rides. It was high 50's in Denver today, the engine needed the exercise so I took her out. Aw Yeah!!
I think I'm gonna hang onto the old parts just in case sometime I need to go back to mid config. Sorry.

 

just for the hell of it ,i bet you put your feet down where them old pegs where , when you first started out ?

glad you got them on.

 

Yup, I confess. Won't take long to adjust. . . Just wish I'd used more Loctite, my brother lost his shift-lever while on a 4-lane, the bolt must of worked it's way out. I'll keep an eye on everything.

 

My Sportster had a few bolts and pieces from Lowes holding it together
Glad to see you got it done

 

Closer to spring I'll take it into HD to replace the lower gasket on the rear cylinder. Leaking. . . I'm not diving into that myself. Anyone have any idea what that costs?

 

+1 on the Locktite. After a chilly ride home from worl last nite I noticed my right forward peg was a little loose. Pretty unnerving. They have loctite now.

 

I want to extend my forward controls and I can find the extension plates and linkages for dynas, but not sportsters. Anybody know where I can get them?
