    G'day Fella's,

    Just chucked on a couple of mods this arvo and thought I would show'em, (yeah heading had billet not derby cover in the subject my bad)

    1. Deep cut floor boards, these I brought from real hog as they looked really good and matched my screaming eagle breather cover. They are way longer than stock and obviously don't have the rubber top of the OEM. They came with instructions that basically said take off the stock and fit with the same fittings but I have noticed that there's slight movement due to "minimal" gaps between the floorboards and the mount brackets. This can be eaisily be negated with something like sleeves/bigger bolts/washers etc so it's not a show stopper but they cost me $500 so you would think they would be spot on.

    2. RSD derby cover, I'm bit of a show pony so this was a 1/2 cool 1/2 gimmic modification. Very easy install just make sure that you have a good set of torx tools to get the OEM derby cover off and put something under the stand to raise the bike then you won't drop any oil. Initally I went to Supercheap for a set or torx tools but ended up with Repco as the size of the screws are bit of a bitch, just make sure you tighten as per instructions (opposite screws each time). Did notice that the inner ring of screws on the cover needed tightening after I noticed some condensation on the inside of the glass after a wash. Looks really good when your sitting at lights and people can see oil splashing up and all the moving parts. 

     

    Hope that some of this helped feel free to PM me any questions and I will try to help out where I can.
