Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.....

Ok I am looking at those "OEM" handlebars.....and thinkin Howie is going to go down the highway on his Cybil....with 12.5" Apes and 36" width bars....and I know he is going to be making another change immediately....to either one of two handlebars.....that I discuss in the handlebar thread......nods head most definitely.....those bars are 28.5" wide....lol....vs aprx 36" wide.....better get those bars and stuff ordered along with brake lines.....in fact if you want to know what I am talking about.....two days before she arrives.....spend some specific time on Cybil then when Joy shows up you will know most definitely.

HeHe! You got that right Tim! I need to have the bike to do the bars. I've a few things in mind, but can't pull the trigger til I sit on it. Or any related parts. Once I ride it, I should know what I need. Changing those indicator lights will be the biggest challenge. I'd like to flush mount them into the console. Still looking for ideas to get them out of the riser clamp! :2vrolijk_21:

No,but they are "stuck" onto the fender....they can be pulled off but given the age of the paint and how long they have been there i'll let you pull them off........

Howie~~~

Howie, ok I get it that you might not like them, you know a "taste" sort of thing...but what are you looking for, I mean what would you have preferred.....something more elaborate????  The indicator lights on a FX, FXR, or on a Dyna for that matter have never been of "elegance" anyway....they were always seen as a necessary "basic" element....nothing more nothing less.....now saying that I don't intend to change your mind.....lol that's not my point....I am just curious what you would have found appropriate......




BTW, am I stuck with those ugly reflectors that are mounted on the rear fender?

ABSOLUTELY NOT....smiles....they come off EASILY with dental floss and 5 minutes of going up and down the area above the reflector with a hair dryer or heat gun.....very simply then take some "rubbing alcohol lightly on a soft rag to pick up any "gummy" residue and rewax.....
COMES OFF EASY.  I have done it.

UPDATE:
That bike has been in a garage for most of it's life.....in a "cool" garage....smiles....with heat that stuff will come loose like it's no tomorrow....with dental flosss.....wait a minute this was suppose to be an "UPDATE" and all I am doing is repeating myself.....Ownership is a BEAUTIFUL THING......all of the decisions we get to make....LOOKS AT YOU AND HANDS YOU THE HEAT GUN....you know what to do......and begins to do my best impression from Water Boy with Adam Sandler.....yououuu cannnnnnn dddddooooooo ittttttttttttt!!!!


Regards,

Tim

Nothing elaborate Tim. I just want them gone from the riser clamp. I thought cutting them into the console would get them out of the way. Any other suggestions, ideas, or pics, are surely welcome!!! :2vrolijk_21:

The reflector, well, that's what I first thought about when I saw where it was. But Jim's got a point about it being on that paint for nine years. We'll see how daring I feel! ;)
