    Looks amazing! Sorry to see about the tank. I do love that stock color/look. I'm in the process of tdoing a 2nd tank for grins/learning. I went with the Drag Specialities Diamond stitch 3.3 tank...taking a torch to the Diamond stitch and a brass wire wheel brush to brass plate to do raw aluminum and brass. If it turns out, I will post a video with it next Spring. Too cold in Chicago to finish it up at moment. Thanks for sharing!

    ok, I pieced my cables and hose set, didnt see kits that would fit, I put 16" meat hooks on 6" risers, had little trouble finding cables, last year, I noticed I cant find stuff like once existed, 20 years ago, you could pick up catalog, order any size up to 31" bars, then special order taller, & no trouble with cables, just order for bike & then a plus size for how many inches over stock, 24" over, sure, was in paper catalog. modern times Grrrr... I dropped out of scene, just maintaining bike, then got back into a couple years ago, now wanting 25" bars, on 6" risers. what a chore today!

    A big hypodermic syringe works good to, fit it with a surgical hose, fill the syringe, shoot it from the bottom slowly until the bubbles come out in the fluid res., shut it off. - Lefty ( may have to pump it once) Under the Blood M/M

    Congrats brother! Not sure why, but with my 16’s, I don’t feel like a gorilla riding a football anymore. Really opens everything up. Great video by the way. Learned some valuable lessons with apes that people don’t talk about. Apparently your body acts like a sail at speed and can cause some wobble. Let me know if you’ve experienced anything like that. Ride safe bro!

    @@randymack1782 thank you for the words of wisdom! I’ve ridden a while and even went to Harley about it. They didn’t mention that at all..😳 That’s one reason I posted here hoping someone else had this experience. Soon as this terrible weather moves out of GA I’ll get her out and check those bearings. I definitely found that leaning forward with your abs through curves helps tremendously as well as placing slight pressure forward on the bars also makes it a smooth run through curves. Could not imagine doing it with a suicide shifter! Kudos brother! Stay safe out there Randy!
