FLHCAHZ Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 That really came out great! I like the color and the decals are perfect. Did you have any issues with the rear shocks? Seems that the shocks that came in the kit are way to long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have any issues with the rear shocks? Seems that the shocks that came in the kit are way to long They did seem to be a little too long. They have to be manipulated just right to get them on. I had to lift up the rear end spring assembly very slightly to get them into position on the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably didn't need any glue, but I took a toothpick and applied a small amount from the backside of the frame and around the mount areas.

I may have to cut the shocks down. Sorry to hijack your thread........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hijack your thread........... Yep Chaz, had to cut pretty good amout off the rear shocks. But then, I didn't like how high the rear looked to I lowered it.

Sorry to hijack your thread........... I had mine glued in also. I got the shock into the rear end section first, then carefully pushed it into the frame position. The rear end actually lifted up slightly but stayed glued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Way cool build. The only suggestion I have would be to black wash the grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
