Title: Re: Work in Progress Post by Kropatchek on 03/16/06 at 12:31:48 As promised here some pictures of the progress: HD FXS ( what ever that means) muffler; having difficulties to locate a muffler shop for making the adapter pipe for me. Is'nt it beautifull? http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/8789/workip35bt.jpg "Riders view " of the Superbike steering bar, golfclub mirrors and bullseye blinkers. http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/6229/workip25pu.jpg Trial fit of the rear "bullet style " blinkers, S40 rails and seat and LED taillight . Combines tail-, stop- and license plate lights. http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7895/workip18qx.jpg That's all for now folks Greetz Kropatchek ;D 8) |

Title: Re: Work in Progress Post by Savage_Rob on 03/16/06 at 12:55:02 That taillight's kinda cool... almost invisible when unlit. I've seen some of those with "split" sections, allowing one side to flash while the other remains steady. They function as taillight/brakelight/turn signals. |

It is looking kind of naked there, all by itself. By the way, I really like the back of the fender/tail light treatment. ;) |

Title: Re: Work in Progress Post by Max_Morley on 03/16/06 at 20:15:09 If that muffler is the same as a FXD the original size from 2000 RAASK pipe with the end cut off past the spot weld (about a foot), will slip over the muffler inlet and the inner tube (on the RAASK) will fit between the inner and outer muffler tube. Worked for me. |

Will keep the airbox and covers for the moment. In fact I have'nt touched the engine at all. Don't even know what seize jets are in, will see later. Greetz Kropatchek ;D |

Title: Re: Work in Progress Post by red2k1 on 03/19/06 at 07:36:18 The seat, rear fender, rear blinkers, and stop light treatments are outstanding. Please keep the pics coming. |

Title: Re: Work in Progress Post by Savage_Rob on 03/19/06 at 09:35:04 I like that except for the ox-eye signals. I've heard the hagon shocks are excellent. |

Title: Re: Work in Progress Post by Salad_Shaker on 03/20/06 at 07:35:55 Hagon shocks are a frequent upgrade for Classics restorers and very highly thought of in that world. They would be my choice if I had the readies to spend on a suspension upgrade. You can buy direct from the factory in Essex UK. Prices have been stable for a couple of years, unlike exchange rates. Prices quoted on their web-site are in GB pounds, so across the pond apply the rate of 1GBP = 1.755US$ (XE.com mid-rate today). Web site worth a visit. See www.hagon-shocks.co.uk I see Kropatchek has chosen the shrouded shocks which is a nice touch, Henk. |

Title: Work in Progress - Almost finished Post by Kropatchek on 04/03/06 at 06:37:41 Here's some update. The work is almost finished. Just have to install a nice guard for the ugly welding job for the FSX damper. RH Side (no close-up because of the damper weld) http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/1038/wiprh1ay.jpg Close-up quarter front view. Note the deletion of OEM blinkers. superbrace, fw controls and tube in between http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/7053/wipfront8vn.jpg How to close 4 BIG holes in the rearfender without welding?? http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/4917/wipdetail4bt.jpg Here it was all done. Behind my buddy's HD http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/203/wipfinished4ss.jpg Greetz Kropatchek ;D Made the first ride this season, can't wait for the next rides. |

Title: Re: Work in Progress Post by Jim_R on 04/04/06 at 06:47:21 wait i change my answer. those front flashers match the back. I was just concerned about how visible the front turn signals are. They do look good and I think it is a kewl idea.. way to go and keep up the good work. |

Started with the idea of NO rear flashers. Then I got the S40 fenderstruts ( Thanks Gary). If I left the flashers off I would have been stuck with 2 big holes and no cases of the correct diameter. Hence the "bullet style" rear flashers. Greetz Kropatchek |
