Drove mine to work for the first time since mid-January.
Removed the starter to get rebuilt back in late January. Just finished it up this weekend. Also did the shorter foot peg clevis' and new Kuryakyn Large ISO foot pegs and shifter peg. Installed new battery and oil tank covers (plastic), what a weight difference. Removed the right passenger peg since I had the exhaust off.
I'll get a video and some pictures when I can.

I have a 2008 Custom here and the side covers could do with repainting but thanks to post above I see these I like -

Finally got around to starting my 883 to 1275 build a couple of days ago. I installed the Energy One extra plate clutch and spring about a month ago and finally decided I needed to get busy with the rest of the conversion. To recap, the build is a Hammer 1275 kit with their 560 cams and 10.5:1 compression pistons. I'm using a set of late XL1200 heads that Hammer treated to a competition valve job (the valve throats look great and are very nicely blended).
I started with the cams, after removing the exhaust, rocker covers and pushrods. I left the lifters in place and pushed them out of the way as needed. The bike only has a thousand or so miles on it so I'm confident the lifters are in good shape.
Cam cover pulled and cams, pinion gear and pump drive gear removed:
Bronze pump drive gear installed, pinion gear reinstalled and torqued down. 75 lb/ft used as per Hammer's recommendation.
I had to lightly chamfer the lobes of the #2 and #3 cams to prevent them from rubbing on the pinion bearing boss.
I slipped each cam in individually and rotated them by hand to make sure there was no interference anywhere, then mocked them all up.
Everything looked good, so I pulled them out and lubed them with assembly lube and reinstalled them.
Everything looked good, so I put the cam cover back on and torqued it down.
Done with the cams.
Next: On to the cylinders and heads. Maybe this weekend....

they were on the bike when we bought it from Suburban Motors , they are plastic or fiberglass, quick release, I doubt that they would hold any weight , but would be able to keep a few things in there . The quick release is a nice feature for sure
