OMG, I just youtubed the clip of that bike running....they really need to put that pipe into production and make it available to the public! Any idea how it stacks up on the dyno?

Not sure if this does it justice, but here we go!

That DP exhaust is super clean, gonna fit this build perfectlyComment

Yay! Updates! Dig those new wheels and the tires will be much better. People seem to like putting more sporty modern tires on this type of build and I support. Better tires are more fun in corners. And that pipe is a sex macheen. Rock!Comment

So that happened.
We got a little optimistic on the tire size. Width looks great, belt not so much on board with the change. Might be time for a chain conversion.
Gave Kyle at Lowbrow a call and he's now building his own sprocket and selling a kit.
Really great looking part and reasonable price. Thanks Lowbrow!
Hope to have the bike back up on its wheels this weekend. Might also be time to call the painter and beg...Comment

^^^Ran into that same problem mounting Shinko 777's on the back of a pre-04 Sporty. Scrapey-scrapey. Hoping my Shinko 230's on Shovel wheels don't do the same thing on my 95 XL project.
Stupid tires.Comment

damn those pipes are killer!!Comment

Balance of the covers went to powder and body to the painter. Now we pray.
In the meantime we're going to get a little ghetto style. Picked up a couple cans of Harley's "texture black" (the most expensive rattle can we've ever purchased!) and tested against the powdered parts. Dead match. That cinched it, we're not pulling the motor. We are now masking gods.
And this came in the mail:
Loves us some Biltwell stuff. Blacking out the motor made the carb cap and ignition cover almost mandatory.
Motor should be dry and ready for assembly soon.Comment

Fresh set of Burly Clubmans get unwrapped. Internal wiring on this style of bar has always been a nightmare so we capped the ends. Now you can work the wiring though the hard corners. Makes it a ton easier to wire them. Obviously stock length wires are plenty good, so pulling the wiring out of the connectors, feeding it through the bar and reinserting it into the connector takes minimal time.
Picked up an Speed Merchant triple tree, too. These things are a work of art. http://thespeedmerchant.net/
It got tossed into the freezer for a little metallurgy lesson (wife not stoked). As it turned out the bearing fitment was not as tight as the factory stuff and it probably did not need to spend theday with frozen pees, but better safe than sorry (ummm, sorry hon).

Just got pics from the painter. We love Smokey, he plays along with our dumb ass requests and hits the deadlines. http://paintbysmokey.com/
Color is still a bit sketchy (our fault), but it's looking to be ready to shoot!Comment

that exhaust sounds throaty as fuckComment

those clubmans, I say!
was contemplating clip ons but . . . upon these
being released I'm reconsidering! so nice.
I like how they don't have a crazy wrist-destroying drop angle.Comment

We hate wrist destroying. Angles are pretty comfortable and a little rotation within the clamps will tune them to your happy spot. Also slotted for internal wiring.
Clubmans are released.
