V-Rod 5 gallon kit install update. Sidecar Cycles

by Editor on 01/27/12

Virtual Riding TV's shop sponsor Sidecar Cycles sent these updated pictures of the progress on the
5 gallon conversion kit
 installation. 

The tank has been installed but during reassembly Alan noticed that the bike needed a new rear axle and bearings, 2 new velocity stacks with bolts, intake gasket, oil breather line, and a fuel sensor. After he let me know I made a call to Trev Deeley Motorcycles and they were able to track down some of the parts in Toronto and the rest will be from the States. Thanks Chris and Nick in parts.

Thank you Alan for your attention to detail and insuring that my bike is safe for this riding season.
