Shocking!!!

I can't beleive how long its been since I posted anything.

In the mean time I actually won a trophy at the Brunei Bike Week!!

IS a beautiful thanks to the IMG for organising the event.

The entry was " best modified American Chopper"

AND HERE IT IS:

The Trophy!!

Life runs away!!!

Too long since I have posted anything, but wanted to keep things going until I got some new pictures.

However, wanted to install new part first:

Chrome Calipers
Air intakre cover
Chrome Rear Master cylinder

These are now done, just need to go and pick up the bike and take pictures at a suitable location...

Any female volunteers for posing as a model???

Wheels and Bags

New chrome wheels installed:

This is the 21" front wheel, made by Paul Yaffe:

This is the new rear wheel, chrome 18x8 from Harley Davidson:

I also now have installed the spacers so the Solo bag is no longer rubbing against the frame. The stand off appears to be a bit big, will have to see how it handles...

(the discolouring on the bag is due to it being washed last week by the stealership :-(

)

Sideview you don't really see the off-set:

Just need to get the seat darker to match the bag better...

Mood: sweaty...

Chrome Wheels

here is my new 21" front wheel, freshly arrived and unpacked!

The HD dealer also informed me that the chrome rear wheel has arrived, so hopefully over the next week new wheels installed!!!

W00t!!

Mood: GOOOD

Waiting, waiting, waiting....

Waiting for my new wheels to arrive, a 21" replica wheel from Paul Yoffe in chrome and the chrome rear wheel for the Rocker from Harley.

They will be dressed in Avon Venom/Cobra tyres!!!

In the mean time playing with the idea to upgrade myself:

Will be looking at a divorce probably if I do this...

Mood: Impatient and indecisive....

Air Suspension installed!

So it has been a while, but finally got the air suspension installed. While waiting for the bracket I had a brainwave and decided to install the switches on the handle bars using the Aux switch housing from HD. Easy to reach and looks OK to (note to self: take a picture of the handlebars....)

So after borrowing a bike lift managed to get the air suspesnion from Shot gun (JD Braun) on. This is the end result:

This is the suspension fully raised:

This is with the suspension fully lowered:

Some installation shots, the relay was mounted on the right side of the gearbox, on "spare" 5/16 hole:

View from below, the black box is the airshocks themselves, you can see the air line on the right, which comes from the compressor:

The compressor is just visible in fron of the rear fender, mounted below the transfer case:

Partnumbers for the housing: 70213-02c and an additional switch cover: 71715-02

And a thanks to Dennis from Top Down Products, even though I didn't use the bracket in the end, he gave me first class service, HBK could learn something from him, Thanks Man!

SO drove over to the dealer and they kindly removed my front fender, so I could fit my new one, the fender is the 21" Rocker fender from Heartland Biker:

I also used photoshop to make this one, kinda neat huh!

You can see the numberplate holder here in its vertical position, it can also swing around to horizontal, made by Top Down products

Mood: Happy
