Hey all
I wanted to share some improvements i have made this week... I am by no means done yet, and this could not have been possible without leaning on a few friends hard... 2Lane in particular has been as usual, very informative and patient with an idiot. Thanks a bunch Don...
to recap.. new Corbin Dual Tour ( ordered through Charlies HD, thanks to this site) naturally, not cut for the bag guards even after checking 6+ times with Corbin..

Jenni from Charlies was great , and she will make it right..
so, off to a local upholstery dude..street rod specialist who did what i was afraid to do , and hooked it right up...dropped everything he was doing

and went to Dremelling...
lights from Custom Dynamics.... only took a few orders and hours on the phone.. love the products.

.. customer service and employee expertise..eh, not so much.

..but thats another story
but its done...
next step... hidden axle and fork cap... leaning on either Bret or Jay, whichever is foolish enough to answer the phone and let me into their lair this week....

" I get by with a little help from my friends"
thanks gang..i love this place!
pictures to follow
