When you replace the break line do you have to do the whole line or just the upper part?

I really like the look of your bike. I wish I could test out handlebars before buying them.
Thanks again for the info.
@3skulls
Thanks, I hear ya. Been through 3 bars before I settled on these. 1000% more confortable than drag bars. No, bars aren't knurled or drilled for internal wiring, but they are dimpled. I had to replace the entire brake line. $50 I think. Went with stock length +4"...found cable on eBay too, like everything else eBay is sucking me dry!

lmao...i'm with you. For me looks is first and foremost, the feel/comfort (or a girls personality for that matter) is an afterthought. Now, if there are two set of bars or seats and both look equally as good IMO, then I'll take riding comfort into consideration....maybe!

Forward controls and Dark Number One Custom Logo Derby and Timing cover are all on their way to the dealer as we speak. (Had to have them ordered) Next week when I get back in town from work, I'll pickup the same Number One logo for my gas cap.

Now future mods......

For my birthday in early April, I will be picking up Vance and Hines Short Shots in black and either the HD Scream Eagle Stage 1 Intake or the Vance and Hines VO2 Naked Intake with Skull Cap cover OR the Allen Ness Big Sucker Stage 1 with regular black cover........Decisions Decisions!

Oh and I can't decide if I'm gonna go with a Fuel-Pak/Power-Pak setup or just have the dealer do the computer work for me.

Hi all Sportster owners out there.
I'm new to this fabulous forum.

Grancuda... if you can help me out here?

I have got a multi fit HD Trim ring set (rear and front).
The front part got on quite easily. I see that you got the rear ones set on yours.
Can you tell me how you fixed this. Mine doesn't seam to fit because there's no possible way to connect the the trim rings.

Thanks in forward.

Nice adds to your bike man! Compliments from an happy owner from the Netherlands.

Since I have a wonderful wife I figured why not spoil her. Her birthday is on Monday, so I went ahead and bought her an Iron.

these the trim rings for the turn signal / indicators?

if so, youve got an eu spec iron - and the trim rings wont fit on the rear turn/stop signals - they are sealed units
