I'm finally back to work on the Roadie after heavy work and life items and am now anxious to "get 'er done".

Lookin good! Can't wait to see the result!

I saw the lights you have on the fender, and it reminded me of something else I saw.
Bagger nation (http://www.baggernation.com) has some SLICK flush mount light solutions. basically trace, cut, epoxy in place. Dunno if its too late for you to use on your project, but lights are always a good thing!

Thanks Toast.

It's kinda' hard to see in the pics but the LED's are flush. Native Custom Bagger put them in for me and they are in smooth as glass. I can't even feel where the fender and lights meet. I am thinking of having them cleared to have them invisible when off.

Resolved the rear signal issue. It occurred to me that I was testing the rear harness to the brake/signals and license with the instrument cluster off the bike. Once I put the cluster back on the signal function returned.

Looking good!

Cut spacers for Tricky shock alignment

Where are these spacers and why do you need them?

Doc

Looking sharp Deadlion!!!

Hey Doc...I should have added more detail.

I am trying out a previous generation Tricky shock that was on a demo/shop bike. Like the Bike Boar air shock the older Tricky's require spacers to take up the space between the arm/bones and the front of the shock on the collar. The newer generation Tricky's that you and others have are wider at the shock connection point so spacers were no longer needed.
