D displays mad, awesome fabrication skills!

Went by the local Harley dealer to get a replacement plug in clip for throttle cables... the ones that look like a barb to plug into a hole in the frame, and a zip tie on the other side...

Some slack-jawed teen was at the parts counter... ahhh fuck it, not gonna even explain it.

Got home, got me out some sheet metal, and presto! In 3-4 days time, a couple of ruined prototypes later, I made my own damn clip!

Awesome, ain't it!

Well... I did get the bolt hole a little off-center... there's that...





Haaaaaa!!!

Great stuff there Big D. Better then the push in zip tie things that I get at the local hardware store. I can't wait to see what you come up with next winter now that the fabricating bug has bit ya.

Well... truthfully... how's this sound? A bone stock Road King, with an extended warranty!

And how long would it take for you to start the mods and void you extended warranty?
