You guys are havin' too much fun.  The best part (after bonding hour) is that you can get in the wind and test it all out.  Up here in 30 degrees and pissin' down rain, sleet, snow, freezing rain all [highlight]you'd be able to do is keep the bar open [/highlight]and admire your work.

On second thought that wouldn't be bad either, but I'd still rather be ridin' like the license plate frame says.

Thanks for the updates and pics.

Just wanted to compliment Jim (hd-dude) on the Wild-1 Chubby's and etc he shipped me. First time me and Beags have done a set of bars and had everything we needed up front. No trips to the closest shop for a banjo bolt or a washer or whatever. Jim sent me the Chubby's, braided stainless, throttle cables, clutch cable and brake lines with all the fittings including the T splitter.  Great job Jim Thanks [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Big B


Glad it all fit up well Brian [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif], I really like the AC cover too!

hd-dude,
   The cables and and and..... fit perfectly.......thanks!!!!  I hope this is the last set of bars for BB for a while (he changes bikes faster than I change my underware.....{well, not really since I got married.........but now 10 years ago????}).  It was a fun project and since I don't have the scratch to buy goodies these days,  it's still fun to play with my friends toys for them.... :) :) :)

We still have the tour pak lights and chrome accents to install,  but I'm riding on New Years Day no matter what.

I'll post pics later on LD finished.......Looks really cool and BB is way comfy....

You know, there's so many things I know how to do with regard to working on Harley-Davidsons and yet it always seems like I'm into stuff that needs an eletrical wizard like Beagle to do. The man is just flat out the best when it comes to anything with electicity running through it and he ain't bad with most of the rest of the stuff. I'll admit it, I'm an assembler. I can take em apart and put em back together and I guess like the blind squirrel that finds a nut, I get lucky most times. Beags is a technician. He makes workin on bikes look like precision surgery. Just because we had all the right stuff for the new Chubby's does not mean it went together by itself. Piece of advice here folks, while I believe Road Glides are hands down the best road bike out there, they are BASTARDS to work on.

      Hey Brother, there aren't enough words in the dictionary that mean Thank You that I can type out here. The only thing I can think of is to let the 2,900 or so folks on this site know what a great friend and brother you have always been. After I left your house, I gassed up LD found a rap station (yeah, it seemed right you know, big city SoCal freeways splittin lanes and flippin off the cagers) blastin along at 90 or so downshiftin, tachin it up just rappin the pipes and livin large. Brother you gotta ride this bike. Screw the dyno, the Doherty is the balls. LD is one fire breathin monster with that gorgeous new Doherty pumpin air into those SE heads.Jimmy (the tech that did the 103 upgrade) told me when I picked up the bike he had it a little rich so now it's about as close to perfect as you could imagine. . And yeah, the new Clearview might be a little on the tall side, but brother I can tuck in behind that sucker, crank the tunes and flip off the world. The new Chubby's have got just the right amount of attitude and LD just wants to lay down to the the axle nuts goin around corners. No sweat on the rear speakers and lights bro, you got the wires run, I can do the rest.

L&R forever bro

Sounds like the two of you got it working really sweet.  And B B got a run down the interstate to boot.

Can it get much better?  Congrats on the project guys.  Thanks as well for the updates and pics cause we all know [smiley=worthless.gif]

Beagle,
Great pics. Thanks for putting this thread together. It's an interesting, "day in the life" kind of thread. ;) Now if you could video tape it and get an audio track that would be even better.

Happy New Year!

Brian/Matt,
Scooter looks good, and the smile on BB's face says it all. [smiley=2vrolijk_21.gif] After reading BB's post of the ride after install I can just picture the big ole grin on his face as he was eating up the highway.

You and your families Have a Happy New Year.

Great Job and Great pictures! It was a joy to see it come together! [smiley=carrot.gif] [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] [smiley=carrot.gif] I think the rear speakers and lights will set it off even more! Congratulations and Happy New year!
