Nothing....stock spacers...straight swap using a Fat Bob wheel.

Beautiful bike! How did you get your saddle bag to line up so perfectly with the rear shock and battery side cover? I'm OCD and cannot seem to get my bag to line up as nicely as yours.

Please share!

Thanks for the info...must have missed that thread. I think I would have issues with fender clearance. I lowered my bike and had to resolve the right fender bolts were rubbing the side of the rear stock tire. Thanks again.

Thanks Tynomite! Check out deadcreekcycles... The bag uses a bracket that makes it easy to line up and prevents the bag from sagging.

Hey, thanks for the advice. I checked it out too. It's exactly what I've been looking for. I ordered one from another company, great price, on clearance. I know I'm not going to be happy with it. Better to save my $'s until I get this set-up. It looks great. I think the bracket is part of the difference.

Neighbor turned his sprinklers on...the water got over to the driveway and softened up the dirt...the kickstand sunk in the mud and down she went onto the dirt and rocks at the side of the driveway. Not a pretty sight, for sure.

Demonstrated how loud the Irons alarm is to my neighbours, whilst I was removing the main fuse.

Should anyone else be above you have to turn the ignition on first and then the alarm doesn't go off.

I like that little stand. Where did you get it?
Today, mine is going to my local mechanic. I have an oil leak from the rockers, sprayed oil all over my khaki pants going in to work yesterday. Called the mechanic, he said its likely just the gasket, as its a common issue with them, having an original paper gasket. To my knowledge (bike is bought used), it was the original. 2007 sportster roadster 1200.
Hoping it will get fixed quick, as I NEED to ride!
