Any reason why you chose the old style clutch cable, and not the much easier to change and adjust new two piece style?

To be honest, it's what I found that was the right length. It was very easy to install and adjust. Actually smoother shifting than the original. Could be the original just wasn't adjust right.

Was finally able to install my DK Customs 606 a/c and external breathers. I love the look and the quality is top notch as usual from DK. Really happy to finally not have all that nasty hot oily air going back into my engine as well!

The Cobra El Diablo has been on my list. Looks like a real bargain compared to other pipes. Are you going to dyno tune it? Would love to see the numbers.

Really improved throttle response & pulls better down low, sound is subjective but i'll try to shoot a vid, will get it dynoed when it gets a cam done eventually, only has 12mm ports btw, but fit & Finish is great (shame some twice the price)

Got a spot on map from Dynojet for PV (Rinehart 2-1 114 softail) smooth as stock , no de-cell pop etc

I had my 5K service done, During the test ride, my tech was so annoyed by the gas cap rattle that he replaced it under warranty on his own initiative. I guess I had tuned the rattle out, but am definitely aware that it is gone now.
