    Bad experience with LMC Cycles.

    Will your local fabrication guy going to have the jigs in place to mock up this level of fabrication? Not to mention the custom designed brackets and castings. I’m not going to defends Hans’ business practices but a local guy will ring up hours fast without them.

    Bobber kit options to date

    I have no experience using the Wunderlich product. But using a simple test meter should allow you to wire match what you have. You just eliminate the two amber wires from the equation.

    Bad experience with LMC Cycles.

    I got the medical excuses from Hans a few years ago as well. He claimed COVID and heart issues. I don’t buy the one man operation excuse. LMC operated three locations and the level of fabrication and design work requires a significant workforce. I think LMC grew too fast after the introduction...

    Are you using the Kellerman wiring adapter?

    Helmet suggestions

    I will second the Shoei Neotec 3. I just returned from a 3,800 mile ride and I swear by the modular design.

    Bull horn handle bars

    The longest ride I’ve done is about 130 miles in a day. The bars are great but I’m no spring chicken and I was missing my Indian Pursuit by the end of the day. Let’s face it, a bobber is a bar hopper and not a touring platform.

    Exhaust Modified

    I like to hear the motor run. So I plead guilty.

    I’ve never seen one shipped raw. But after seeing that I’m glad I paid the $400 to have him finish and paint mine because it arrived flawless.

    Bobber kit options to date

    I was going to remove the dual red/amber lights to install the proper two-wire red version. Hans told me they are cemented in place and they would be near impossible to remove them. The EURO required two color lights still are plenty bright using only the red side but I really would have...

    Exhaust manifold/ Headers

    Find a powder coating shop that can Cerkote them for you.

    To be fair I ordered during COVID. But it took a year to get everything.

    Let Hans know you only want the single color red Kellerman Atto lights installed and not Euro regulation red/amber combo lights. You’ll never get the amber half to work on a U.S. market bike.

    Interesting exhaust options?

    None of these pipes are loud in the sense of what an American V-Twin would sound like. The head pipes are fairly small diameter. I’m running gutted head pipes and modified straight through fishtails and I would still not consider it loud by American bike standards.

    Reverse Recall Accessories Credit - What to get with $1000

    If only all those items were actually available.

    Just installed a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery

    I’m 0 for 3 using lithium batteries from both Shorai and NOCO. All were replaced under warranty snd I sold the replacements. I may be unlucky but the failure rate on lithium batteries is unacceptable.

    Changing your own tyres, who's doing it?

    I picked up an Olmaxmotors tire changer a few years ago and I’ve been very happy with it. https://olmaxmotors.pl/produkt/tire-changer-2020/...

    Image upload test

    Why can you not upload images in the private messages? Is there a default that prevents this and can it be changed?

    Dot4 vs V10

    The BMW clutch fluid is inexpensive (around $8 if I remember correctly) so why look for an alternative?

    Knee replacement

    It’s a little rough but nowhere near as rough as shoulder surgery rehabilitation.
