My daughter just married a guy who's folks live in Horicon. That's gotta be close for a double dip? lolWhen can you visit the Milwaukee area? I’m about 30 miles west.
That is a helmet lock that the D-ring from my helmet locks into.Beach bars look really good. Your hard work has definitely paid off.
You’ve added an attachment to control cluster on the throttle side - what is it?

Bar end mirrors and the aircraft style fuel cap installed.
Now I just need to wait for the LMC Swing Saddle to arrive.
Do you want the whole assembly or the chrome cap?Would you like to sell the gas cap you replaced?
No, I will wait and see what the durability of the eBay aircraft style cap is going to be.Would you like to sell the gas cap you replaced?

That is the RSD Machined cap. I'm going to hang onto it.
Thanks, I am going to see if I can order oneThat is the RSD Machined cap. I'm going to hang onto it.
Thanks, but I have one of thoseI have a clean unused smooth chrome non locking one avail.
It is a billet item that uses the OEM inner assembly from the stock cap. You only need a C-clip pliers to remove and install the insert.Thanks, I am going to see if I can order one
That looks great. How do your wrists rate them?Well the bar installation is complete. I initially installed them using the stock risers which I had powder painted black. But they were too high and brought the bars further back which wasn't necessary. I want to add the BMW accessory low risers but in the meantime I found a set on eBay for $30 that matches the Roland Sands machined accessories pretty well.
I am so glad I went through the trouble of routing the wire harnesses internally. If I hadn't it would have bothered me forever.
Hans sent me an email while I was on vacation to let me know my seat had shipped so I'm awaiting it's arrival.
I am very interested in finding out what the process was that Gr8adv used to gut his stock exhaust. That will be my next project before the spring riding season commences here in the Midwest.

I had beach bars on my Yamaha Roadliner and rode that bike all over the country for 11 years. I absolutely loved the comfort on the road. 500-800 mile days were not unusual on our rides out west. In fact I almost purchased a Springfield rather than my Roadmaster just so I could install the Prairie bars.That looks great. How do your wrists rate them?
I have typically had a love-hate affair with beach bars. I love how they look, but I hate them for the wrist fatigue they cause. I have recently installed a set of Klock-Werks prairie bars on my Chief Vintage, which removed part of the inherent beach-bar-wrist-contortion, but I had to drop the bar-ends to the point where they interfere with my knees in tight turns.

Wrists still bent too far forward, even with the prairie bars - you will feel it after an hour out. And you will want to bin them by the time you get home or...

This is the sweet spot I now have prairie bars set to on my Chief Vintage. Except that I still need to open my knees to allow the bar-ends through in tight corners. Not necessarily a show stopper unless you own several bikes and forget about it (-:
If you buy beach bars for a Harley, you can shop pull-back, rise and overall width, never mind top brands like Burly, Klock, LA Choppers, Wild 1, etc. This is new ground for BMW, and LMC. And we are financing their training costs.
thank you !!!You can find it on eBay.
