    Improvise, adapt, overcome nice job mate! I live in the states so maybe I get a little spoiled. I'm about to go 124ci really stoked about it. Dig your vlogs....

      Thanks brother, man it's a pity for my sake that all the sweet aftermarket harley parts are made in the states. The conversion rate to Au and the cost of shipping is a killer.
      You should do a couple of vids when you go the 124ci, that thing will rip 🔥🔥🔥🤙

    love all your videos TGM. informative without being patronizing. could you please paint the tab at the rear of the seat, the silver against the black fairing hurts my eyes 🤣. I did similar with a seat, just used 'plasti-dip'. still on there for 8years plus.(don't intend to insult you)

    Maybe put a bit of black paint on the seat "thingy" were you changed the bolt.

    Can i do this to a sporster as well? Or the clutch and brake are harder to press?

    • @TheGingybeardMan
      @TheGingybeardMan  3 роки тому +1

      It shouldn't be any harder to depress, if anything it should be lighter. The clutch on this bike is a cable clutch and not a hydraulic one and is still very easy to pull in.with 2 fingers.

      Mate its mostly just for looks however some people find them more comfortable for use with 2 or 3 fingers

      I finally got my Lucky Dave 13s. 13in. Handlebars.
      I put them on myself and only had to extend one wire set.
      I believe it was the switch housing on Right side. Clutch and Brake Cables are fine plenty of slack.
      Relocated turn signals to fork.
      I had Stage Two Low Toque Cam Installed. Bike is a Beast Runs Like A Scalled Dog.

    The levers look a hell alot nicer mate good work. I noticed the steel tag that holds the seat while u changed the lock bolt, will you be blacking the tag out to match the fender and bolt?

      They're perfect man, wish I did it sooner hey. I use 3 fingers when using my clutch and brake lever and my pinkie finger remains on the grips. I noticed with the stock levers when I pulled them in the clutch lever would hit my pinkie finger which was uncomfy. Now with the shorty levers I dnt have that problem. Such a simple mod but I'm a big fan hey
