2006 custom sportster trike conversion

Here's my XL1200C. Gave it a clean day before with the new rinse free stuff I picked up from Supercheap during Boxing day sale.

Turtle Wax Rinse Free wash and wax and Meguiar's Quick Wax.

Added around 4 caps of the turtle wax wash to half bucket of water and soaked some micro fibre cloths in it over night. Next morning cleaned each section off with that solution using microfibre cloths. For the paint surface, as soon as I cleaned it with the wash, I used another microfibre cloth with the Quick Wax sprayed on it to wipe the surface dry. Wring the second microfibre cloth thoroughly every time so when I use it to dry another portion, the cloth has no dripping water, just little bit moist. For all the chrome parts, same method to wash and another microfibre cloth to wipe it dry but didn't add Meguiar's wax to it.  Wasn't sure what a hot exhaust would do to wax coating, so didn't take my chance there. I went over every nook and corner, so I'd say a 3-4 beer stubbies job.  

It's finally home, registered and rolling.. it's what I'd call a 3m bike.. super sweet from 3m, up close she's rough around the edges but seeing she's nearly 40 I guess that's ok it leaks oil, has some cracks and rust, runs rough, is slow has horrible brakes.. but damn I love it.

Just fitted some Pangea stream liner bars which Are sweet as hell, went to fit the tiny headlight I bought and lower mount, but as I discovered all of the wiring is jammed into the back of it, maybe another day. There's also a sissy bar to be welded up.

Looks good, but agree , Aircleaner wrong , i think for a bike that age, S&S L series with the old round ( made before tear drop, but same cast style just round  would look the best just hard to find, i have one but don't want to sell.

Happy New Year

Oh I agree, god knows why they fitted that bloody thing, hideous!!

I have this little guy coming, hand cast by chopper Dave, guys a real artist!

Bike looks great,but agree with the air cleaner for your bike. As far as pipes are concened agree that short shots are s????T, mine had them when I got her, now has D&D Bobobcat, what a difference, expensive but worth every dollar. Unfortunately still can't afford the 88inch hammmer kit! Becvoming trailer trash is too expensive, go figure.

Ouch!

Glad you are safe, bike can be repaired through insurance. 

5 weeks and the repairer still hasn't even got the quote into the insurance company.. Jesus...
