Guess you can't ride barefoot with those highway pegs. LOL

They look pretty mean.

I have the dual wireless remote control. I put the remote in one of the windshield bags. Your set up is a little more convenient because if I had too I have to lift the pocket flap to make an adjustment.

Makes sense .. evaporate any moister ... sounds good ... it still amazes me that with the wrap, the stock heat shields will still fit.

Do I leave an unwrapped spot where the O2 sensors go, or wrap them over the cut them out ... guess it wouldn't matter, just never wrapped a pipe before.

Also, just occurred to me, should I do this with the wet heads? Will it affect anything? Waste of time and money?

Default Sweeper switch

Here are the photos of the new bars that I switched out. I really like the change. Can't wait until the weather breaks to try them out. It is a whopping 4 degrees and snow

Default try a few more pictures

These are not the best however the switch was not bad with shop manual. All I need now is new clutch cable word has it the cross bones cable is the correct length needed. I added a 2" tank lift last summer sweeper bars work great

So today I broke my Kuryakyn iso floor boards (my bad ... tried to drill and tap them to accept a boot guard, they are about 7-8 years old and made of pot metal ... the end just cracked when I drilled the rear), so, instead of replacing the rider right hand board, went to harley and scoped out board replacements. SCORE!!! They had a set (rider and passenger) of the rubber and chrome collection on clearance. I have never seen Harley put any accessories on clearance, unless it was discontinued. Any way ... with those savings, I was able to pick up the matching brake peddle pad and a small matching brake peddle pad (had to order this). My plan is to drill a hole in the parking brake peddle and have a matching pad for the parking brake. They had another collections small brake pad and let me hold it up to the parking brake peddle .. fits like a dream ... I'll post pics when it comes in. So, today I'll be swapping out my boards. And brake peddle pad. The big reason I am not replacing the iso boards is they are about 2-3" longer than stock and cover all of the parking brake when mounted to stock mounts and about half of it with the relocators (1" out and 1" forward).

The stock parking brake arm for a 2014/15 already has the hole in it and will accept any Harley small brake pedal pad.

Are you telling me that a Harley #50600037 small slipstream brake pad can replace my stock parking break pad on my 14 trike?
