Nice Sporty!! I bought my Sportster last year from Chopper Dave at Cowboy HD. I think your mods so far look great. I would also be interested in relocating my front blinkers. Ride Safe!! -Dave.

 

Thanks everyone... I feel the forum love... hahaha :P

 

Nice lookin bike looks like your all ready to roll

 

Hey fellas, relocated the turn signals and installed some 10" Z-bars from Licks.

Turn Signals: After relocating them to the forks via a Drag Specialties part, I gotta find a cleaner way to arrange/hide the wires for the turn signals.

Mini-Apes/Z-bars:

For the 'initial' install no new cables were needed however, I'm planning to wire my bars internally and will have to get the wiring harness extension from Drag Specialties for around 35 bucks. Snip there, snip here, solder this, solder that and I hear that's it.
You will also need a new front brake line in the long run, for the time being I just unbolted the hard line from the lower triple, looks like crap but it'll have to do for now.

Riding with the 10" bars feel way more of a comfortable ride and I hit a 40mile commute to work everyday on this bad boy on the SoCal Express Lanes. Wind factor wasn't really bothersome at all and I'm not a big guy. just a mere 5'7" 170lbs. but having these bars just feel more comfortable than having those stock drag bars. Hope this helps Crazynutz.

 

thanks for the info 54... but..
That looks to be a nightster... the 1200 sportster...
The cables should be long enough stock to reach the mini apes change over...
but for the iron 883 i've read i need to buy longer cables -extensions - for brake
and idle/throttle... which are way expensive --- but hey what isn't these days...

 

When I had my 06 1200c, I moved the turn singles to the forks.
It is not that hard. Follow the directions. If you have to cut your wires, make sure you have some shrink tube, and the smallest straight male/female connects you can get. The instructions that come with the fork brackets are decent.
It really does clean it up.

I like the sadlebags! Very retro looking. Where did you get them?

Also, how do you have the large bag strapped down? It doesn't look like there's any sissy bar on your bike.

 

Congrats and welcome. She looks good.
