Since they are fabric parts…instead of waiting for that part to have to come in…they took the bracket and welded and powder coated a Passenger Peg mount to it that is well done and very sturdy.

With regards to the air cleaner I meant to write about that after seeing a few others post and I know you have been considering getting it.

Yes it looks and feels much wider.

No floorboard extensions. Just the soft break arm like you for my break pedal.

I used to keep my knees tucked into the tank (I’m 5’9 now…as I have slowly started the shrinking process. lol. Probably 5’10 with my riding boots)…with the new filter when I do that the way I used to my lower leg does press up against the filter cover, and being that it was a new experience at first it was noticeable and kept me from keeping that leg tucked in. My foot placement on the floorboard may also be a part of it. But after being on the road today as I drove I forgot about it and it wasn’t really as much of an issue. I know there were times my leg was in tight but I also let it sit a little looser at time.

No issues with my floorboards or the brake pedal in terms of being able to use them.

I’m going to see how it goes…that said I’m not so sure that you’ll like it moving all around the bike as you do when you setup for different curves and such as it does stick out.

Not entirely sure I want to install the Air Stinger aircleaner now.

I've seen the non downdraft version on larger than 128ci builds with high lift cams, and the downdraft version is better.

The rest are just Mini tear drop and there's several variations of that.
I suspect that a standard Stealth Mini Tear drop will be plenty for a 114 S&S 475c cam setup, because I've seen larger engines with it and not have issues with posting good numbers.
So it'll be fine for a 475C.

You need to lift up the rear of the tank, so take off the seat and the rear bolt and lift the tank up and put a box under it or something to hold it up like 5~6 inches.Then you can get at the spark plug wires, with your hands. I used a right angle pick to get the rear one out.
Fairly quick and easy install. You just need a 9/16th's box wrench, a 9/16ths socket and ratchet with 6inch+ extension.
I pre-greased the spark plug wire boots making sure to not let grease get on the inside of the terminals, but spread it around the surface of the Boot.
The top plugs you will have to push down on the top of the boot with your fingers on each side to get it down, and it will "POP!" into place. If it doesnt pop, pull it up and try again.
The ignition coils, the stock wires terminals have a little clippy that holds the plugwire in. The Magnum Shielding ones do not. So you'll have to finegal around pushing them down to make sure they slip on and engage all the way down.
