It was physically the same looking as the TK ****, finish may have been a little more polished looking, but not a mirrored finish, just due to the material used.

Overall I was trying to use a material with a lower thermal conductivity to prevent it from getting too hot in the summer. Needless to say, metal is metal, ***** going to get hot.

It was a good **** though, better than any I've used before. Sold it to one of the ohio guys on the cheap after I sold the 350.

Id rather get a steel one. I run the HD washer on the 40 dollar leather nismo and that.

On yours it seems out of place. just my .2c
Yep, took your advice. Just ordered a polished finisher from zeetoyz.

Also, Brrcats, you did a great job fabricating that.

You know what's funny, if you aren't logged in to the board, the word "****" is censored... The thread looks ridiculous.

I installed my fatboy shift **** and the top of the shift lever hits the roof of the **** before it tightens. Fully threaded in, it's loose and spins freely. Besides Loctite, am I missing an insert or something?

I just installed mine today and it was a pain in the *** to get the stock one off..but once the **** was off there was a thick ring that sits around the threaded part of the shifter...I'm not sure if that has anything to do with your problem, but i left it there and my shift **** screwed on perfectly.
