"Anyone can do it"... ya, sure with a blasting tank and powder coating set up :-) Looks awesome! i was happy to see the torque wrench come out... sooooo many videos of guys just cranking down bolts. Thanks for sharing!
I understand that I may have a few more toys then some guys as far as tools go but I hope people can see through the extras and are inspired to try the stuff I do with what they have. You don't need a sandblasting cabinet when a wire wheel on a drill will do the trick, or a powder coating setup where a rattle can of paint will do the job. Hell, I still put my belt sander in my vise to do a lot of sanding.. It's all about making do with what you have. But anyone touching an engine without a torque wrench.... not cool. Some things you just don't touch without the proper tools. Thanks for watching and commenting. It gives me something to think about for future videos.
@@i.b.lancer First of all thank you for sharing this video, provides opportunity for mounting options. Out of curiosity, what torque setting did you crank the rocker bolts back down to? Again thank and nice job.
I hope you get this. How did you get the gauge to stay in place without moving around. Seems like it’s all loose when I put it in and nothing seems to keep it dirty or lock it in. Thanks brother for the great idea.
The instructions are very vague! There is an ignition accessory wire behind the left side panel. It’s red with a yellow stripe. Tap in to that with the yellow and red wire from the gauge. With the black wires it goes to a ground source…….This is according to tech-support at dirty works. As for the rest of the wires; brown to brown, the other black to black, and the green to green.@@i.b.lancer
On the Ultra series you’d have to lose either the gas gauge or the volt gauge to do that. Not the ideal solution. Personally, I like it down on the side. It looks kind of cool.
Super nice job brother. I LOVE the attention to detail.

@@i.b.lancer absolutely inspiring! i caught the belt sander in the vice - nicely done!

What kind of metal did you use to fab those brakets?
I cut that off of some bbq smoker legs I had kicking around. I’m not at the shop right now but if I had to guess, the metal was about 1/16th thick.
Be willing to make another and ship?
Great install. What's the Torque Specs for the Rocker Cover?
Sorry, I don’t remember off the top of my head. Just refer to your service manual. You do have a service manual… right?
@@i.b.lancer , it's boxed up somewhere..lol. I just moved.
Have you found the gauge to be consistent with its readings?
It is consistent although it fluctuates with bumps and the bouncing. It’s not too bad though.
So what them top bolts torqued back @ Tia!
You would have to look at your service manual for your year and engine to get the proper torque.
I hope you get this. How did you get the gauge to stay in place without moving around. Seems like it’s all loose when I put it in and nothing seems to keep it dirty or lock it in. Thanks brother for the great idea.
Mine came with a U-bracket and two threaded inserts that screw into the back of the gauge. Keeps everything nice and snug.
I really admire what you did. Would you be willing to make and sell a set?
Nice customization work. What air pressure do you run your system at? Sweet spot
It’s all still pretty new but so far I’ve been riding in the 90lb range. Feels like the stock height to me.
@@i.b.lancer thank you
Would love to purchase 2 sets of these, if that was possible!
👌🏽Nice and clean 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
Get Down looks good Homie..
But how do you install the actual fittings? Where to cut air lines? How to connect all the power and ground wires?
You follow the instructions that come with it.
The instructions are very vague! There is an ignition accessory wire behind the left side panel. It’s red with a yellow stripe. Tap in to that with the yellow and red wire from the gauge. With the black wires it goes to a ground source…….This is according to tech-support at dirty works.

Can u not install the gauge in the fairing?
On the Ultra series you’d have to lose either the gas gauge or the volt gauge to do that. Not the ideal solution. Personally, I like it down on the side. It looks kind of cool.
@@i.b.lancer Some mount on the left side where there should be another compartment.
So did you ever make these for resale?
No. Not yet.
I did it without a blow torch. All I used was a cut-off wheel, hand tools and a can of spray paint……easy as hell!
Good to hear, thanks for watching.
Would you make one to sell me????
Couldn't you just bend the bracket itself and save all that trouble?
No
👍🏼🥃🇺🇸
Nice. Now patent your design and make money off it before dirty air does.
I second his comment... I'd be willing to buy a them from you for my 2011 ultra. been looking for a way to mount this on mine as well...
