Finally had a few days offf and tacked the wiring. Just have a couple wites to the bars to finish. Then figure out where to mount the shockvres and brake res! Hopefully its all right cause I wrapped it all!!    | ||

This is truly some first class craftsmanship. Awesome! | ||

I love this bike. I know it's counter to all the custom parts, but I think what would really set it off as a clean café style is a 7" round headlight, even a Truck-lite LED one in particular. | ||
| Phelan |
Actually, are you already going that way? It looks like you have a round headlight ring powdercoated with the rest of the bits... | ||

Actually have a 5 3/4 I am trying out | ||

I saw your post on facebook about your other shock... something about it not having a valve to be recharged? New one certainly looks like a nice replacement for an XB shock! | ||
| S1owner |
Basically the shocks are not serviceable by normal means. Pretty sure thats a designed in feature HD demanded as no reason not to put in a serviceable shock that can be repaired by any shock shop other then keeping the $$$ in house. But going through a company epm out of newjersey and they have all kinds of shocks even tuber stuff. Plus great prices | ||

You're good with safety wire   It's the little things..... | ||
| S1owner |
I use a clamptite tool looks better then clamps.      | ||
| Shoggin |
Are you telling me that even tough I've been a mechanic my whole life, that theres a damn tool to do that!?! And I had no idea it existed?? Thanks so much for learnin' me today  That's awesome! Is that an aircraft thing? (Goes to Amazon immediately to order....) | ||
| S1owner |
Amazon search clamptite tool. There are diffrent sizes this size works for most. You can get stainless aircraft wire with it in a kit. Found mine at a motorcycle show | ||
| Shoggin |
I did. It will be here tomorrow  Thats the crazy part. I safety wire everything, and never seen that tool. Been doing that by hand. | ||

I have used it to fixblowen bobcat hydraulic hose worked like a charm | ||
| Upthemaiden |
I was going to say that I'd be worried about the wire cutting into the hose.... but I just pulled my oil tank this winter and reconnected it on Saturday(hoping the new grommets don't leak like the last ones!), and all of the hoses were pretty chewed up from the hose clamps that were on it for 20 years, so I don't think any wire clamps like that would've been any worse. Nice work. | ||

Its up to you how tight you make it so you dont damage anything! | ||

New shock arrived. Gotta say the customer service, price and shipping speed not to mention the packaging from Epm Performace and Hyperpro is top knotch!     | ||
