Front blinkers moved to the forks.

Front blinkers moved to the forks.
After putting the new billet mirrors on the bike the left blinker needed an additional bracket to attach it to the bars, it never looked quite right so I decided to move the blinkers down to the forks, this cleaned up the bars nicely.
Parts included the chrome stalks (Harley-Davidson part no: 58742-05) and smoked lenses.

Danny Gray seat on the bike.

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Danny Gray seat on the bike.

This is the first photo of the Danny Gray seat on my Rocker FXCW, it does exactly what Danny Gray promised it would, it removes the gap between the fender and the stock FXCW seat, it looks great and is really comfy to ride.

There is gel in the bulk of the seat, the rear portion is made of shark leather with the rest in cow hide and it is finished off with the red leather cross stiching. Also stiched into the seat is the continuation of the flames from the tank.
The logo is stiched into the seat and is the logo from my football team, Manchester United.
Overall i’m really happy with how it turned out Danny Gray did a fantastic job and Sherry who works there is really great at keeping you up to date with progress.
As for the ride it changes the way the bike feels when you’re riding, it moves you down and back about an inch making you feel like you’re really sitting in the bike, this is a great improvement from the stock FXCW Rocker seat.

Custom solo seat from Danny Gray.
This is the first picture sent through to me from Danny Gray after they completed the new seat for my Rocker FXCW, total turn around from commissioning the seat to delivery was about a month, really pretty good considering i’m in Australia.

Saddle bag and new license plate.

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Next to be added was a swing arm mounted saddle bag and a personalised license plate. It’s great quality leather and the service is excellent.

The swing arm bag is from:

Also bought a couple of Kryptonite locks to tie the bike down to the concrete pillar in the garage, it’ll take a while to cut through either. Great locks and highly recommend them:
I also at this point removed the reflectors, real pain to get them off but with some WD40 and a wall paper scraper they were gone.
