Default My Iron called Irene...

hey there everyone..
New to the forum but I've been around asking questions here and there...
and ofcourse I still have some more.
1.) I am wondering if there is anyone who did a write up with pics if possible on chaniging out the front turn signals to the lower fork clamps???
2.) Also a write up with pics if possible about changing out the drag bars for mini apes and what materials were used -cables- and best price for cables and if cables are even needed???

here are some stats and pics to wet your whistle...
My Irene...

Stage 1 Kit w/ Vance & Hines blacked-out Shorty Duals
Screamin’ Eagle Monster Air Breather
Forward Control Kit
Progressive Lowering Kit
Rallyrunner Seat by Harley plus passenger pegs
Genuine H-D Billet-style Diamond Black grips, shifter peg/brake pedal, & rider/passenger pegs


I am also going to relocate the front turn signals and maybe do some apes... haven't decided yet...

more pics: http://s166.photobucket.com/albums/u...azynutz/Irene/

Hey Crazynut, that is a very nice iron sporty.
Enjoy it and I wish I had some Austin weather up here right now.

Good looking bike.

There was a guy on here that just recently started a thread about moving the turn signals downt to the lower triple tree clamp bolts by using some stuff he picked up at a hardware store. Turned out great & I think he said he had like 5 or 10 bucks wrapped up in it. I recently moved the turn signals on one of my bikes down to the fork tubes using a kit I bought & I like that other guy's idea better.

Sorry I couldn't help more but it really is worth searching for that thread.

No you dont have to cut wires. I do not know about the cables since Irons have the drag bars.

I think they're the same...

Remove your top clamp & have someone else lift the bars until the cables & brake line are extended as far as they can still be used & measure. If you want your bars, for example, 2" higher, buy 2" longer "stuff"...
