Default New pics of Iron upgrades

Sorry, but ya gotta link to the pics via the My Space link in my sig, then go to the album called "Christmas for Black Bitch"

I rolled her in the house Christmas day and scattered a couple K on her then went to work buying her presents and installing them....She ran over budget, but I'm tickled so far.....I took plenty of time to keep her wiring to factory specs where I bought a $400 crimp tool and HD extended harness with new switches. Nothing got soldered-everything wired up using OEM connectors and factory crimp pins.

Those are 8" Tbars from Demon Cycles, and Joker Machine's speedo mount. I used HD forward controls and pegs n grips, along with HD's turn relocation kit and V&H Indy outlaw pipe. That is an HD "headlight visor" that I call a fairing.....I painted it using Krylon Satin Black with Krylon semi gloss clear coat over it. Krylon rattle can matches perfectly as you can see, plus it is very forgiving and super easy to use.

Thanks Steeler.

This little Black Bitch has been more difficult than my other scooters to mod. I can't describe all the little issues I've had to work thru to keep her OEM and looking like she rolled off the factory floor. I'm loving her to death. Once I decide on a fueler, she is gonna be a reliable 100 horse power rig.

I just rolled her out to the shop and rolled my Road King inside. I got the Road King up on the lift now and fixing to get started on her. I call my road king Fat Babe. She is fixing to get A few performance items. I gotta remove her heads and swap her cams.

You bought those bars from Demon Cycles? Why were they so much? I just bought a set up just like yours, already prewired & with controls ready to slap on for $284 for a Shovel project I have.

The bars were only 69-79 bucks...but they had issues I had to fix...The flat spot for the master cylinder was clocked way high and the wiring holes were way off so I had to recut them. I ground a new flat spot for the cylinder and repainted it....I used HD's wiring/switch kit for 150 from Zanotti's, so it was about 225 total for bars and wiring/switches/housings
