sadly i did not take pictures of it but this is what i did , cut away the striped part , that way you can use all the threads and mounting holes for the starter , and the outer case is cut up just to look nice but you need it for the starter axle support bearing

Ok but how did you handle the solenoid? what di you do about that?

[rene53catalina]

i have a lever switch that controls a simple 12 volts relay and that relay controls a separate solenoid i had laying around , think a yamaha :-)something like this , but you can also leave your stock solenoid in place

[rene53catalina]

this is the starter lever i used

Ok thank for the help. I just have one more question for you. where is your battery located with this set up? My bike has a horseshoe oil tank (which I don't like) and the battery sits inside that

[TimB1640]

I'm guessing that it's behind or in that chrome box on the right side of the bike behind the kicker pedal

[rene53catalina]

no , that is a stupid big ass battery , that has got to go in the future , a lot smaller one also can do the job , i bolted the relay and the solenoid on the underside of the batterytray , gonna clean it all up in the future , will make a box for the electric , plan on fabricating a gastank with a seperate oiltank so the tank under the seat can be removed , electric box under the seat with the battery also inside , nice and clean , also will make a rear fender , a ducktail with some sort of an opening in it for my tail light , got an awsome one , e grimes airplanelight from a bomber plane :-) :-)

[rene53catalina]

Not a FXS either.... It's more like a FLH..... What are the first 2 numbers in the serial number??

I don't see any FLH stuff on there. It has the correct front end, rear fender, primary, 19" front wheel, 3.5 gal tanks for a FX rather than the FL stuff. Most of them have been changed by now. My FXS doesnt look anything like it did originally:

well , as a matter of fact i do not care what it is or what it was :-) :-) , and when i am done with it it will be far from original

I subscribe to that outlook as well. I was just trying to say to tattoo that it did make sense it was an fxs lowrider originally.

[rene53catalina]

i know :-) :-)

LOL I knew what you were saying......
