I’m not a history buff, but I believe the brass ferrule was invented to hold an eraser to the tip of a pencil and was later used to fasten bristles on paint brushes and then on bicycle cables which developed into motorcycles. Bars look better and yes, that round cleaner looks good too. Don’t plan on taking off those orange reflectors off the forks? Asking for a friend.
That air cleaner cover is GOLD. Harley sold aftermarket ones for a few years and has discontinued them. I bought one for my Wide Glide when I had a Stage 2 done on it. Bought a second one for my Road Glide for its Stage 2 upgrade and dealerships from around the country are calling the local dealership wanting to buy it because it shows In Stock at the dealership. But it's in a bin with all the other parts I've bought and paid for and will go on the bike after Thanksgiving.
My 14 street bob came new with the round air cleaner cover, it was chrome, I had it powder coated black along with various other components on the bike.
I changed the 14" handlebar on my Dyna last weekend for 16". You haven't lived until you internally wire the bars and fight the insanely stupid wire harness inside the frame!! I reallllly hate they routed the wires that way but hopefully I won't want to change bars again for a bit.
Simple tip to not lose those brass ferrules while working is to put them inside your throttle grip and slap a piece of duct tape over the end. As far as not losing them while putting them back on I’m open to ideas because it’s a special kind of hell.
So when I got my wide glide, I had the same problem. I actually couldn’t hit the rear brake with. It ended up being a combination of a different seat and air cleaner combo to comfortably reach
Do you know if panhead billy is still on the road on his bike? That bikes cool ,i like it alot,its a daily rider. Put some cool leather throw over saddle bags on,awesome.
The bars made a world of difference to the good. Also the round filter cover made a better look as well as being practical. Did you use any wax, paste or some type of compound with the 0000 steel wool to clean the cover? Thanks in advance.
Big G'day Monkey family from Down Under 🇦🇺 I love my "16 Factory 47 Marlo bars If you go back & look at my pics of my Dyna my rear indicators are like yours so my saddlebags can fit onto the docking hardware. May all your days be Harley days🖤🧡🖤 Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾🇦🇺
😂I think about that stuff also, all kinds of things that would make cadaver clean up easier..... Engineers deserve a smack for brass ferrels.... Love the bars , you got a good looking bike now .
I would have to take the extra 15 minutes to run the wires internally in the bars haha but my ocd would make me 😅 i do like the cables outside though it gives it a good look🤘
So I have a question and it might be a stupid one but I just purchased the street bob and the bars are a little bit taller than I would like to swap them out for shorter ones do I need to buy shorter cables and throttle and brakes or can I just simply swap them out they will only be about 6 inches shorter, so I’m hoping all of the existing cables will be fine Any advice would be great
I absolutely love my wide glide. I do hate the damn mustang seat thats on it. Feels like a horse saddle, and like I'm sitting on top of the bike instead of in it.
Hey monkey. I jist watched the ornery one. He posted a video about his Advanblack tourpack. Some very concerning issues. Have you guys made acquaintance ? Himand his ol lady seem like good folk with a helliva story. Sounds like advanblack has been backimg there products but the issues are a bit unacceptable .
Im not hating on the taillight but i just gotta say it looks like the male apendage coming out of the rear fender 😂😅 that is now all i can see when i look at it haha❤
Boiled in THEIR own pudding 😂 LIKE UR J.D BANNER BROTHER...RIDE A KICK START CHOPPER...FLH NICE ..HARD TAIL.... ITS ALSO NICE 2 HAVE A NEWER SCOOT ALSO....😅
What a difference the bars make! Looking good 👍
Seeing that Dyna makes me miss my 94 FXR Super Glide lol..
I like that bike. Can’t wait to see the progress.
Keep the cleaning tips coming. I have a 08 Fatbob that needs some help.

An even easier way to take off the throttle grip is to take off the riser keepers and shift the bars over if the cable isn’t long enough

Swear to god ! Wrinkled up aluminum foil and water on the pitted chrome. You'll love it.
Following this build.

Put a dab of Vaseline in the hole on the ferrule, the place it on the cable. The Vaseline will hold it on the cable.
Ok, so great video as usual, but the beat part is the bottle of Kesler on the floor in the background, best seen at the 3:22 mark... cheers🥃
Yup, I just checked my Dyna. Levers are a T27. Switch housings are a T25.
So when I got my wide glide, I had the same problem. I actually couldn’t hit the rear brake with. It ended up being a combination of a different seat and air cleaner combo to comfortably reach
lol so funny getting ready to change my bars and levers this week...perfect timing man. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful look with the upgrades!
I think I have those shorty bars on my fxdli.... Kinda like em.... They do have 4" risers though, stock I think.
I am rather excited about this project
Do you know if panhead billy is still on the road on his bike? That bikes cool ,i like it alot,its a daily rider. Put some cool leather throw over saddle bags on,awesome.
Great look.
Enjoyed the video
Love the seat. I have the same one. It will look good with some brass accents but I know you hate it. ;)
Yeah buddy, number one comment!
I really like those bars looks much better

Just call it the Mike Bike 😉
Try Bass and/or Bronze wool, well not stretch the surface.

Looking good Monkey. Keep up the great job!
Very cool project.
Looking good I like them little bikes to rip around on
Love the bars bro
What beand are they? Also do stock cables reach? TIA
The cables were already extended when I got it and the bars were in a box so I’m not sure what they were to be honest.
Thanks for sharing
Use wet aluminum foil to clean the chrome but make sure to put a good coat of wax on when your done.
That's a sharp looking bike.
You go big guy !!! 👏👏👏👋👍
Looking good!
Looking great love the bike 🤙🏽🇺🇸
I hope you are going to put a black seat on it
Cool video. Good info 👍
😎👍
Big thumbs up for the channel...
😂I think about that stuff also, all kinds of things that would make cadaver clean up easier..... Engineers deserve a smack for brass ferrels.... Love the bars , you got a good looking bike now .
Picked up an ‘06 Deuce to ride for the next year or two. Seem to think you had one, do you remember if you changed the bars?
Apehanger Handlebars Required
You put em right there so you lose em later… priceless lmao🤣🤙🏼
I would have to take the extra 15 minutes to run the wires internally in the bars haha but my ocd would make me 😅 i do like the cables outside though it gives it a good look🤘
Those are not factory bars but they look good
I miss my 09 streetbob. I went through multiple sets of handlebars with it 😂
You can put Huffy handle bars on a dyna?
A dyna bro would put some Tbars on it 😂
👍🖖
What do you do for work?
I’m blonde polish n left handed… I have NO IDEA what they were thinkin when they made those brass pos’s🤦🏼♂️🤣🤙🏼
So I have a question and it might be a stupid one but
I just purchased the street bob and the bars are a little bit taller than I would like to swap them out for shorter ones do I need to buy shorter cables and throttle and brakes or can I just simply swap them out they will only be about 6 inches shorter, so I’m hoping all of the existing cables will be fine Any advice would be great
NIce nice bike. I like the handlebars. Would have liked meat hooks but that is just me.
Lose the leg reflectors and paint the lowers black.
I absolutely love my wide glide. I do hate the damn mustang seat thats on it. Feels like a horse saddle, and like I'm sitting on top of the bike instead of in it.
Damn those handlebars were tiny lol. Looks way better.
That orange thing got my name on it. Do you sell bikes?
You gotta change that top clamp. It needs some tall risers
I SUBSCRIBED!!! 🤪
Damn, get off my back about it.
Put some thrashin pipes on it

What a bummer harley did with the top triple tree riser combo. Its like harley is tryin be like honda more and more. Sad
Not a fan of the air cleaner cover??
Integrated risers make handlebar choices limited.

I know you are as busy as fcuk. But what has happened to the Shovelhead ? Do you still have it, or have I missed a show ?
He put it up for sale a few weeks back.
Wouldn't the screw from the cholo bike work? The backing plate came from it....🤨🤔
Square bars really. It is really sad what the Hannah bar community has come to what happened to old-school thick bars round.
sorry but black bars on this bike don't look good at all. this bike isn't murdered out so it doesn't work.
Just call it the Mike Bike 😉
