 19. For the rear fender,...  19. For the rear fender, Brian needed to remove the old fender and taillight wires. He re-routed the wires onto the new fender with a new wire harness strip. The harness has a glue strip that sticks to the underside of the fender, but Brian added a little Super Glue to the strip to ensure it would stay in place. |  20. Then the fender was placed...  20. Then the fender was placed on the bike and bolted in place. We planned on installing a set of quick-release side plates, but found that we first needed to get a different set of mounting bolts for the taillight. We will add them in the next story. |  21. With the fender bolted...  21. With the fender bolted in place, the last thing to install was the Bobtail fender rack. This was not offered in black at the time when we started this install, but we were told that most likely the rack would be offered in black by the time this issue hits the newsstands. The rack bolts to the seat bolt and two small holes needed to be drilled into the plastic license plate mount. |
 22. Now that everything was...  22. Now that everything was in place, Brian took a minute to clean and buff all the fingerprints and any little scratches that may have happened during the install and shipping. |  23. There you have it. In...  23. There you have it. In about a day we had a new bike-at least it looked that way. The new black paint and the new Diamond Black parts really gave our Death's Chariot the look we were after, but we are not done yet. In the next story we want to get our hands on a new exhaust and the black pipe wrap that is now offered by H-D, and get the right side plate mounts for the sissy bar and passenger backrest. | |
