Looks amazing! Sorry to see about the tank. I do love that stock color/look. I'm in the process of tdoing a 2nd tank for grins/learning. I went with the Drag Specialities Diamond stitch 3.3 tank...taking a torch to the Diamond stitch and a brass wire wheel brush to brass plate to do raw aluminum and brass. If it turns out, I will post a video with it next Spring. Too cold in Chicago to finish it up at moment. Thanks for sharing!

A big hypodermic syringe works good to, fit it with a surgical hose, fill the syringe, shoot it from the bottom slowly until the bubbles come out in the fluid res., shut it off. - Lefty ( may have to pump it once) Under the Blood M/M

I have a 2020 Iron 1200 Got a nice set of 16" Ape Hangers as well, just curious why on amazon it says it wont fit my model I assume the length of the cable is fine just wanting to make sure the fitting for the Brake Line is correct. Love the video!!

@randymack1782 2 жыл бұрын

ok, I pieced my cables and hose set, didnt see kits that would fit, I put 16" meat hooks on 6" risers, had little trouble finding cables, last year, I noticed I cant find stuff like once existed, 20 years ago, you could pick up catalog, order any size up to 31" bars, then special order taller, & no trouble with cables, just order for bike & then a plus size for how many inches over stock, 24" over, sure, was in paper catalog. modern times Grrrr... I dropped out of scene, just maintaining bike, then got back into a couple years ago, now wanting 25" bars, on 6" risers. what a chore today!

Do you have any kind of video footage of how you attach the wiring harness to the extensions? Does Burley send you any kind of info on that? Great video thanks.

Congrats brother! Not sure why, but with my 16’s, I don’t feel like a gorilla riding a football anymore. Really opens everything up. Great video by the way. Learned some valuable lessons with apes that people don’t talk about. Apparently your body acts like a sail at speed and can cause some wobble. Let me know if you’ve experienced anything like that. Ride safe bro!

@@ironglide8256 ask any old timer, that been in the wind 40 years, apes, leaning into curves in youth, and still here, but doing it 1 handed, with a suicide shift, the joys of youth. but if run tight bearings, not great, but bearings will wear out prematurely, I had 2-5 blue bearings every 2 years of hard riding, so, replace & put lots of lube, & in my youth I rode 25K to 40K miles a year on 2 wheels. now days, 5k a year is I am lucky

@@randymack1782 thank you for the words of wisdom! I’ve ridden a while and even went to Harley about it. They didn’t mention that at all..😳 That’s one reason I posted here hoping someone else had this experience. Soon as this terrible weather moves out of GA I’ll get her out and check those bearings. I definitely found that leaning forward with your abs through curves helps tremendously as well as placing slight pressure forward on the bars also makes it a smooth run through curves. Could not imagine doing it with a suicide shifter! Kudos brother! Stay safe out there Randy!

I installed 14" apes on my Softail and flipped the mirrors. My problem is, my forearm covers most of the view behind me. Those mirrors look like they extend out pretty far, where did you get them?

Pro tip, don’t leave a fragile part or painted piece somewhere it can fall, especially if your working on someone else’s bike. I’d rather you throw my tank in the trash than do a rookie mistake like that
