If you’re at this point of the install you’re pretty much done.

Now’s a good time to go back over all your work and double check you’ve fitted, tightened, adjusted, and cleaned everything you need to. Now double check everything again! Remember to grease each of the springer nipples and set a reminder to grease those fuckers regularly.

The final few things to do are optional but cap off the install. I’m a fan of mechanical locking of the front axle so I fitted a roll pin into the LH side axle nut and safety wired the RH side.

And with that my friends, the job done.

I’ve got a leaky banjo bolt which is preventing me from getting the bike out on the road but once that’s sorted I’ll post a few shots of the whole bike in all its springer-mounted glory.

For now though it’s time to down tools and admire the back-to-the-future vibe the springer gives the modern sporty with a beer in hand.



I’ve got a few left over shots so I may as well post ‘em up while I'm here.









Cheers!

Real clean work. Got any full shots of the bike? Just enough black and chrome mixed to fit together nicely.

Thanks mate - I'm really happy with the outcome.

I had to wait for some weather to clear to get some decent full shots - here's a couple...

Very very nice. I'm usually not a fan of those dick in the wind intakes, but it works with the rest of your bike. Great job.
