Posting to read later. That garage/living room/man cave room is the tits. That is exactly how I picture my set up later down the road once I'm settled. nice work so far. Interested to see this build from a designer's perspective.

Got it - that's the order in which I installed them.

Looking forward to getting my new harness from you in the coming weeks BTW.

Thanks!

Thanks! I don't know what I would do with my time if I didn't have "the garage", though sometimes I don't get as much done as I should, having a couch and TV in here

Thanks! I'm not sure now, but can dig through receipts if you're interested (I didn't order it from any of my regular sources for parts). It was a generic fender that I cut / modified. Essentially a piece of rolled steel with the right diameter.

Looks great!

Factory Harley bung and machined brass fuel cap ready for welding / install tomorrow.

Might be a good time to soak the tank in vinegar before you weld it up.
I see a bit of rust in there.

I approve of your Pembroke shop supervisor.

Yep - very rusty. I plan to send the tank out for cleaning / resealing after all of the metal work is done.

He really knows how to keep the progress moving...

I've mocked up the controls and prototyped custom badges for the tank. (The final badges will be laser-cut brass and stainless steel). I also spray bombed the tank so I can visualize the finished product. I'm liking the results...

Can you tell me how wide you went with your rear fender? I've found something similar but good to hear from someone who's already been there!

 

[crazypj]

...each is labeled "top" designating which side goes up, but apart from the black-oxide finish on one of the two rings, they look identical to me...(?)

Chrome faced ring is top one.

Width is 5.25", which I think is more than sufficient. I still have a little trepidation about my travel clearance with my new rear shocks though. They're 1/2" longer than stock (progressive 412 series). They "should" be fine, given that I weigh nothing, but according to install instructions, they might be close to rubbing:

Isn't the chrome one the shiny one? I thought the cast one was the darker? ???

 

[MHDesign]

New problem: I'm disassembling my gauges to clean them up and replace the faces. My issue is that I can't seem to get the trip-meter reset knob off. I read that it's reverse threaded, but turning in either direction hasn't yielded any results. There is no set-screw. Is it press-fit?

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Unrelated to recent posts, but my knob was press-fit and HAD to be cut off. Sometimes you have to get out the tools of destruction.

I'll plan to figure out how to source / commission a machined brass knob.

Thanks man. I went with 6" originally, too wide so I've gone for 5.25" also. I'm having the same thoughts about my wheel clearance, but I guess we'll wait and see. How are you finding the indicators mounted to the fender? Are they sturdy enough?

 

[el barto]

Those shocks are v good looking. Can you send me a link to 'em please?
