    Finally got time to tuck the wires, move coil and relocate speedo/ headlight. Getting there.... Lower shocks, air cleaner and tune next.

    Ignition bracket was great for anyone who is looking at them.... even came with red mounting rubber to match the leads.

    Sj looks great ! Probably missed it somewhere but where did you get the relocation kit from ?? Looks tidy.

    Also have you changed your indicators ? Nice getting rid of the orange rubbish

    Hey Kookie and cheers.... its getting there. Ignition reolcation kit some of the other guys had talked about earlier in this thread.

    Here is the one though in case you are looking:

    www.ebay.com.au/itm/SPORTSTER-NIGHTSTER-IRON-COIL-KEY-RELOCATION-SE-WIRES-/260801389229

    The indicators have new covers, or hooded trim rings I think they call these ones (with clear/tinted lenses). Just google "sportster smoked lense trim ring" or something similar.

    Hi, Everyone,

    Well, I thought its about time I put up photos of my sled. Bascially been a long time reader, first (or fourth) time poster.

    Left my iron stock where I was just enjoying it stock until about 3 weeks ago, then I pretty much went to town to it. Anyway, like to thank all the forum posters in which I've been reading over past year and a half for their insight especically Damon, Taffymarsden, Walka, TC883 to name a few.

    Anyway mods to date (and for a while given the bank balance) include: V&H Shortshots, Whitewalls, Jk A/C, V&H Fuelpak, harley low two-up shocks, 1.5 inch tank lift, forwards and other general accesories. Shout out to the boys at Morgan and Wacker in Brisbane, Licks Cycles, DK Imports, Licks Cycles and Westend Motorsports.

    Sweet ride Kornstar. Like what you have done there mate. The chrome short shots are different, and like the white walls. Interested in how you find the bike runs with the fuelpak tuner. Cheers, TC

    Cheers TC883. Yeah I'm going for a hot rod look and I think the chrome exhaust suits the bike with the whitewalls on it.

    I have heard nothing but bad reviews from nearly everyone with the V&H fuelpak. Now that I have it installed, bike runs fairly well, maybe a couple of misfires for the last 500ks but overall its running well consider. I guess that there are other systems which you could tune for better results but for the price, it does the job. Bike def has a lot more top end through first and second gears which I'm starting to appreciate.

    Thanks Kornstar. Yeah, I have heard mixed reviews about the Fuelpak, but I have a mate with one on his bike and it works fine. I think that if all you do is exhaust and filter, then they work just fine. Again, like the hot rod look you have going there. Cheers, TC

    Hey guys, i finally fitted up my new bars the other day. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with my front indicators, i cannot decide weather to relocate them to the forks or get mirrors with indicators in them... These bars are easy to fit, all you need are the right tools to de-pin the wiring so it can be fed inside the bars, i found removing the left grip easy from the stock bar, i use a piece of stiff wire to feed in under the grip while trying to twist it at the same time, i also use pliers to force it down more and it worked fine, i soaked the grip in hot water before refitting to new bars, i also fitted up a new front braid brake like, i have to say that the feel is much better, i put this down to 1 of 2 things, either there was air in stock hose or the braided hose dose make a difference, bleeding was easy, i just removed the caliper and put a 19mm spanner inbetween the pads (so piston wont come out) and getting help from my miss's to operate the leaver i held the caliper above the handle bars, all are out in 2 minutes!

    Regards Andrew

    Still need to fit the seat, so wont do a 'proper' photo until then..

    When I have some spare cash I'll prob change the bars to lower ones, but thats about it really.
