Love those. Great looking bike. Thanks. They’re on the list now.

Coming up next... Lyndall Bowtie Rotors (11.8) and Arlen Ness calipers (back ordered). Got the idea for these rotors from this thread, first saw them here on a fat-tire RKS (sick). Going to try them out on my slimmer 21" front wheel.

Love those! Will they fit on the stock 19" wheels?

Chubby Dresser bars
wrapped fender - black (I love the black against black forks…)
Rear shocks (supershox)
2-1 S&S full sidewinder exhaust
S&S air cleaner
high perf HD oil pump
Drop in overhead cam
re-map and tune
Kuryakin grips, blinker lights, blinker covers,
daymaker headlight
HD windsplitter windshield

pics to follow….

LOVE this bike. Close to 30K miles on it now. Riding season short here in WI

Finally decided it’s time for apes. Not sure which way I’m going. I’m 5’9” and thinking about 14” bars. Any favorites you guys? Who likes what? I could stay with Wild1 Chubby and do their apes. I like the Carlini’s and meat hooks look cool. Holey Roller also makes a version I like.
Still trying to scour internet for pics…

also. Seats? My better half is riding with me less and less so I’m now looking for a solo seat. Love the look of a few Mustang seats. Anyone with something they love?

and while I’m at it, I’m thinking about upgrading my suspension - front and rear. Thanks for all the info above.

thanks guys.

again; pics coming soon.
Well sir...I just went from 14" KST Spearheads to 16" Carlini gangster apes. Love em! I'm 6' 230lbs. Have the Saddlemen Road Sofa extended reach heated. G/f & I love it. For solo went with Harley lo profile bought here on the forum. Have to say it's THE most comfortable solo seat I've ever set me *** on. Legend revo a's & axeo's shocks for superior confident handling. **** comes back home tomorrow, will post pics!

Yes, they fit the stock 19" RKS wheel. The rotor size is 11.8 like the stock rotor. Bolt pattern is the same also.

Sweet! Thanks. Appreciate that. I’ll probably not go more than 14” since I’m vertically challenged a bit at 5’9”. And will 100% look into your suspension recs - I’m 165 pounds, so I need to go pretty soft I think. Appreciate it.

A couple pics from last spring….



Random parking lot after wrapped fender. I really like the look of the black fender instead of grey - keeps the front end all black.

Nice looking scoot. Wrapped fender looks good. Just be mindful if you ever try to put your bike in a wheel chock.

Also keep in mind depending on the mfgr of the bars you pick could require longer fluid lines.
