If you want to upgrade you radio with an amp that works and is simple to install with no adjustments, check out the thread I started here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...o-problem.html

Your stock radio is rated at 40 watts, this amp is 360 watts. Plug and Play.

You can get the same shock air pump from BKRIDER.COM for about $23 under a different brand name. It looks and works the same for a lot less money.

Sure do, on and off the bike. As mentioned, they're Weld Wheels in the Blade style. 18" rear, 21" front, Metzler ME880 tires (they make a heavy duty rear and that's what I have), matching rotors and pulley. I use my front brakes a LOT, so I threw on some HD floating rotors. Whomever buys the set will obviously get the pretty rotors as well. Only Lyndall pads were used on all the rotors. As you can tell, there's plenty of miles left on the tires. PM me if interested. Lots of other stuff too, but not proper to list on this thread.

scasey, as far as Avon's go, no 100% sure. Heard they're good, but can't speak to it. I can say that the zero growth thing is even a point that Metzler goes out of their way to mention. I have seen Avon's on quite a few custome choppers as well so they would appear to be fine.

I just want to say thanks for all the replies that have been written. As for the air filter I did a search and it is a K&N filter and back plate. The ECM is under the seat is stock and there is no fuel pak or PC under there. Im familiar with these set ups as I have installed both at different times on my fatboy. I was mainly wondering if there was a way to tell if it had been re-flashed at the dealer with a upgraded map in the stock ECM. I would assume with the Pythons and the K&N set up that there was a upgraded map put into the ECM, but who knows.....Its running great right now so im not messing with it at the moment.

I will get the air pump ordered today so that I can adjust the shocks.

Yeah....Ive already been told a few times I bought a "geezer ride" but as was stated above most of them dont own/ride one....some dont even have a bike at all. I love it more and more everyday.

Butcher....I sent you a PM

Thanks to all for the replies.

good for you. i have the identical bike, an 08 sg. and am very happy with it. it is the first year of throttle by wire meaning it has no throttle cables, it is also the first year of the 6 gallon tank, and isolated drive system. your friends may be saying, "why'd ya buy an old mans' bike?" but trust me, you got the cool version of the old mans bike. ain't it way too cool to be a glidin on down the hiway on your new harley touring? i feel it every time i go out riding. very good choice you made there. ride safe. there is a lot of great information in the forum here.
