I had the following installed:
-Tman 216 cam
-Arlen Ness Big Sucker
-S&S precision tappets
-S&S lifter guides
-S&S adjustable push rods
-HD screaming eagle cam plate and oil pump
-PV Tune
I kept my S&S superstreet 2-1 (50 state legal) and actually like the sound now.
It ended up being 119 hp/127 tq. Once I get around to it, I will post the graph, but the bike is torquey as heck in all gears and sounds so much better than it did.

For all intents and purposes, it's a decal. Strong vinyl with a strong adhesive and the finish matches the fork lowers nearly perfectly.

Ordered an 18" sissy bar from The Forge LLC, 10% discount for being in law enforcement/active military.

Now I've just got to decide between getting a $25 fender bib before my little road trip in April, or getting a $450 2-up seat to protect my paint while carrying my travel bag against the sissy bar...

The dealership sent me some progress pics today of the mods I asked for. So far, new handlebars, grips and turn signal relocation. More to come later.

Before and after:






I suppose I can post these here even though I personally did not do the work LOL

Nice bike! Are you planning to sell that old handgrips? I'm interested if you're selling it. Thanks

Thank you!

The grips are heated. I might be selling them but not sure. A close friend wants the bars (if they fit his RK) and I believe he will take the grips too. He tends to ride in the cold so I am thinking he will want them.

I will keep you in mind for sure. It may be awhile though because the dealer has some additional work to do. Then my friend needs to decide.

Got the bike out of the shed (winter storage), went on a ride, then gave the Sport Glide a well-needed bath 'n wax.
