To do list done.
Fixed the oil sensor clip.
Wrapped the brake lines with black.
Cleaned and polished.
Stared at it lovingly for a few minutes.
Ready to ride!

 

[Mack]

I've got the small ones. Just big enough for shoes and a small bag with a shirt and shorts for the gym.

 

[Mack]

Put a new speedo ring on it. Told my wife that I put a ring on her to keep her, so I put a ring on the scout too

 

[Mack]

Got a leather key holster. Just got a phone handlebar mount. Now if I can just ride the bike, I might stop having extra time for farkles...

 

[Mack]

It took almost a year, but I'm finally at the point where I think I'm done with my mods.

Love the seat. Light years better than stock....

 

[Mack]

All Mustang except the passenger backrest pad.

 

[Mack]

I've had two different mustangs, but never a Corbin. From what I hear there's a break in period with the Corbin, but my Mustang was awesome from day one.
Most HD dealers have bikes in the floor with mustangs, you could go try them out....

 

[Mack]

Gave it a once over with liquid glass. I can see myself in the reflection...

[Mack]

Powder coated some new reduced reach bars and installed along with a barnett clutch cable.

Thinking now about having the exhaust ceramic coated. Does it ever end?

 

[Mack]

How do you like the feel of the new bars?

Just did a short test ride to dial in the clutch adjustment as the rain came in. The bars feel real comfortable, with a bend in my elbow and no overreach. I'll do a longer ride this weekend, but so far I'm really liking them!

Wasn't too bad putting everything together. About two hours taking my time. After I evaluate the bars, I may have a set of 1 inch risers and the stock bars up for sale...

Installed Kuryarkyn Spear Grips from Custom Cruiser

Thanks for posting that. I have the arrow floorboards, and wasnt sure about the grips. Mainly i wasn't sure i could install them. I switched handlebars last month and figured out how to switch the grips, so that's no longer a worry. Now that I see them on the bike, they've been ordered.

 

[Mack]

Installed kuryakyn arrow grips. Bigger diameter than stock, easier to grip and hold.

 

[Mack]

Installed Stebel TM80 low, pressed twice no sound and then electrics cut off, had to pull over and then the electrics came back on. No relay installed
Anyone with an idea?

I had the exact same thing. The tm80 draws too much power. Install a relay for it, or you run the risk of burning out the horn switch and possibly a fire. Don't use the horn again until you do this! Had to have my switch housing replaced, and nearly started a fire. Have your dealer help you if they can.

 

[Mack]

Put the new aeromach swing arm bolt cover on today. The bolts that come with it work great unless you have passenger pegs, then you need slightly longer ones. I had some spares.

 

[Mack]

How do you get the ring off? Want to plasti-dip it. Did it with the headlight chrome ring and love how it complements the black LED light.

It pops right off. Use a small screw driver under the edge. It's a tight fit, so if you get it powder coated, they might want to leave the inside un- coated.

Ordered vicbaggers scout headlight. Winter/rain project time

Next up on the To do list:
Tires. Commander IIs or pirelli night dragons. If I can get enough overtime anyways....

Darkscout suspension.

 

[Mack]

I photo shopped one to see what it would look like before I decided to buy. I'll post an actual one one I get it installed

 

[Mack]

Installed vicbaggers led headlight. For only $120 on their site, it was a great deal!
Pretty much plug and play. There's only a lead wire for the small accent light, as the ground runs through the regular harness.

The hardest part was figuring out the weird w-shaped retention springs for the headlight ring.

Vicbaggers:

Definitely a more penetrating intense light... too cold/ wet/snowy for a road test. Maybe tomorrow.

Commander 2s and yuasa battery going on this weekend. Thorough cleaning underway. Too cold to ride anyway.
