@jeffengland6515 nice, congrats! I hope to have the seat done sometime in January, then move to my new custom charging ports, then put it all back together! stay tuned!

@cardy67 ahhh my friend i am unfortunately no where near you, but if i was id definitely help you out!! appreciate the offer to weld, though!

Thanks for the comment! A lot of times the fast-forwarding is just me walking around the bike, looking at things, moving or re-running a wire etc.. The actual modification of parts/installation of parts are where I slow things down and talk through it. What in particular did I fast-forward through that you would like to learn? I try to explain in real time then fast-forward what I just explained to save everyone time watching. I can send you other sections of the videos if that would be helpful! I am getting better over time, too, especially with my newer videos!

1) Yeah Im a bit wild on that one hahahaha...but so far Phase II seems to be going well so hopefully that video will be done in a week or two.... 2) The fender was a universal fender that I bought online, cut it down, then had it painted!

new video is up!

I went with the Saddlemen Step-up, but it needs to be chopped and customized to fit my fender setup...I still havent dug into that, but I will be posting a video about it once I do...taking my time and really thinking through it before I cut into a brand new Saddlemen ha!

@tvsnatureguy I went to go with a spring solo seat similar to yours but I also want to be able to walk when I get off.

@@jeffengland6515 I hear that loud and clear! My decision to change my seat setup was more about my passenger than me, but I was a very close second in the discomfort after about 100 miles...i just got back from cutting up the new seat so hopefully some new content dropping soon with some major progress!

@@tvsnatureguy im gonna sit and wait for it to drop brother

@@jeffengland6515 the new video is up! im doing it in sections but you can now see the cutting process and how its going to be mounted!

Thanks for the watch and comment! More to come!

Thanks my friend! Im glad it was able to help someone! Yes, these are a likely the same as the generic ones you'd find on Amazon. Just be aware that the black color never truly matches the factory gloss black on the rest of your bike. And, before you install them I would measure them and the gap between your forks. If you run into the same height issue that I did I would suggest slightly grinding them down if you have a bench grinder. I have plans down the road for my triple trees anyway so I wasnt too worried at the end of the day about the snug fit. Don't forget to subscribe and follow along!

@@tvsnatureguy nice, honestly that doesn't matters, I had a frontal crash and some parts were repainted but they looked awful so when I get the opportunity to restore the front end I will fix everything back to normal and paint the covers on the go. I'm also looking forward to install a 2" thick handlebar, you know someone who has done that modification?

@@chocolatlituulikki4485 good luck on the restoration! check out the link below to my handlebar video. However, its not specific to a certain size handlebar. Make sure that whatever bars you put on are 100% compatible with the clamps your handlebar uses to mount to the bike. if you are unsure, call a Harley dealer and ask them the acceptable diameters for your year and model. Good luck! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYm4kKKud7N1f8k

You could have backed the centre bolt slightly on the trees and created the space for the covers that way

@enriquecardenas1335 mentioned this, too, and they are absolutely correct (see comment above from a few weeks ago). I added a Note to the video description to let everyone know you do want to leave a little slack in the cable.

Nice!! Love my 48 and loved my BMX days as a teenager. So, DK Custom Products makes these for sportsters! What you do need to do is replace your the clevis mounts on the 48 because they aren't compatible with the majority of aftermarket parts. I used to have a Blog where I did a write up of the installation process but its rather straightforward if you can do basic DIY. Thanks for the comment!

Totally! I did not mention that but its certainly something I do with all bikes I've ever owned so THANK YOU for calling this out for others to see!

@@tvsnatureguy funny that I just got a call this morning after seeing your video about a clutch cable replacement lol, keep up with the great work 🤙🏻

Id say a hack saw is probably better than an angle grinder to be honest. I used a sawzall. Im sure a grinder would work but not as clean and certainly will take a long time. What are you looking for regarding the seat and new fender? Just the install? I have a ton of step by step photos but I could do a video. I removed the springs on the seat for a lot of reasons but the setup is still similar! Let me know, I am happy to add more if it helps you...

@@tvsnatureguy thanks keep the videos coming

Just one package/set will do both cylinders!

@@tvsnatureguy ok thanks I’m glad I only ordered 1 then

Great question! Its all dependent on your setup, and I recommend you measure your current bar length down to te casing where the clutch enters the case. That's the best way to determine what you're going to need for your setup!

Thanks for the comment! I did not do a before and after clip, but I did do a short write up and have photos of the process. Its hard to tell on standard recording equipment to be entirely honest. I would need some high tech audio recording to capture just how much quieter it is, and so you can specifically hear the ticks that are now gone. What I can say is for the price...you can't beat the result. Let me know if you have any additional questions! Thanks for the comment :)

Thanks for the comment! I thought about it, but I am concerned that vibrations in that section with how close the cables will sit between the bracket and the frame will cause wear. I do agree they can be moved somewhere to clean it up a bit, but for now they are pretty out in the open and free from any damage...just looks like hell! :)

What size was your tank lift?

Nvm I just saw it was 2.5” lol

Do you have to do the coil relocate or can I just raise my tank

@@leonlopez69 thats a good question, and I dont believe you have to relocate the coil but I am not CERTAIN. However, if you life the tank and are able to keep the coil in place its going to look pretty messy with all the stock plastic housings that sit between the tank/around the coil.
