ConR, i hope you didnt buy clutch and brake cables with the bars, as they are much too long, i used the diamond black clutch and brake for 8" bars and they fitted perfect. I also ordered my bars 1/2 inch narrow to line up with the forks. What tuner do you have for your bike?

T1

Oh man. Haha. Yeah I bought the kit from Road 6 that has the cables also. Those are too long? Crap!

Now that I've gone white walls and have white grips going, I was wanting to go with white cables if I can find them!

I'm running an SE tuner but will be going to 1200s soon. Local guy is doing it all.

Btw are those the Battistini pegs? I looked at those. Fantastic looking! Just wasn't sure if they were slippery being metal?

Pegs are crap i hate them! they are too slippery but look good. I will be changing them soon. PM me if you are interested in a map that will get your 883 going. By the way where are you located?

I'm up in Sydney.

Friend was telling the same about those pegs. They do look the goods though!

Hey T1, my Mustang seat arrived today and will go onto the bike over the weekend. Are you still interested in the solo and mount? I will do you a good price if you are...

Ab87, love the look mate, i've always considered nightster wheels on my iron. Defiantly getting moved up the list of things to do....

 Thankfully my boss has been in Melbourne all week, which means I've been working on my bike all week " border="0" />

Painted the wraps in a high temp silicome paint in copper.  Thermo Tec.  Much better I reckon!  Thoughts?

Only issue...I was way too lazy to take the pipes off, so I painted them while on.  Taped up the bike real good, and used old sheets.  Still got some on the metal bracket that mounts the pipes.  You think paint thinner would take that off wihtout damaging the metal?

 

EDIT:  Methylated spirits for the win!  Cleaned right off!

 

 

Pipes look ok, but i think i prefer the black, but who gives a fuk what i think as long as you reckon they look alright.

i to prefer the black (easy to clean) but the copper color dose go well with the red.... i still think you should have gone red of the side wall of the tyres.... it would have finished it off better....

T1

Yeah I like to be different haha. I agree black is the choice for most, but that's exactly why I didn't go with it. Been done too many times.

The reason I didn't go red on the sidewall is because I want to go with a red spoke wheel eventually. Would have been too much red. Plus I have white grips coming to go with the white walls. Still on the hunt for white cables!

lol@ Normthe1 , i know the feeling mate, for a good 6 months i was getting stuff in the mail at least once a week.......... but look on the bright side, its a healthy addiction.

T1

i did that to get my bike.

Thanks guys, Im pretty stoked with the bike, its my first Harley and Im hooked.

This forum is dangerous, every time I log in my bank balance seems to diminish, I can't figure out what's happening haha.
