The reason I said "I am fucked" is because for me its a nightmare (and VERY expensive) to ship boxes back & forwards ....... not because of Curtis, its just Customs!!!!!

Ah, Catalonia is trying to separate from Spain by 2017, they are all just huffing and buffing at the moment! They will all come down in near future....What it reads????
Thanks PK.
I think I just wasted my money anyway... I just broke one trying to pull it out of the lower bar´s hole....
I am not spending a single more dollar with this shit. Its too expensive to maintain this bitch in Europe!!!
I am buying a Ducati next.

I wonder whether that might be the reason I feel like a bloody camel hauling a suitcase full of HD parts to my friends every time I come to Finland.

Yup! all those years I had access to an APO I was packing shit loads of parts & stuff in my duffle bags & backpack... now I have no access to an APO so...everything sent from outside EU gets taxed!!!I wonder whether that might be the reason I feel like a bloody camel hauling a suitcase full of HD parts to my friends every time I come to Finland.

Nice
, however I think you need to get some shrink wrap to cover the band clamps on the Dual Runner filters
Gotcha! Okay wasn't sure you said you were "just about ready to roll" so I thought maybe you managed to get some slack some where. I had Assumed that meant you were just had tidying up to do. That's why I asked

Well... I better sell the set of handlebars as scrap metal then, fucking useless to me if the kit will not fit on a K9.Nothing is ever that easy
Cause a spacer is helpful? If you ask nicely maybe pknowles will make you a set.Well... I better sell the set of handlebars as scrap metal then, fucking useless to me if the kit will not fit on a K9.

Yeah.... its not only the spacers, but also the harnesses in the kit are the wrong ones so I must better forget all about it.
Also, Customs fucked it up big time with a box full of Parts, Clothing, BDM sissy bar bag, Mirrors, etc etc etc etc etc that Curtis sent to me in June. We are still trying to get it back (Last seen in Atlanta!!!!) so.... I am out of pocket quite a fair amount of $$$$ and now this about this handlebar kit.... so yes I am furious!
I should have gone this way from the beginning: (If I can find them cheap in Europe) See below.
Got the 1.5" risers installed today - big difference, love the additional pull back & feel. Honestly, they could be a little longer for me but it was worth it, happy with the install. I also had to notch (dremel) the aluminum risers to make room for the 3/8" Big Dog plate thing between the bars - no big deal, the cables all reach fine and you'll need 4" grade 5 or better bolts. Photos for reference.
But yours will look cleaner when it's done, rather than the risers.Yeah.... its not only the spacers, but also the harnesses in the kit are the wrong ones so I must better forget all about it.

This is enough to make a sober man start drinking again
Sorry for the rant and the high jack, but tell someone who cares
