Agreed, doing mine as well...

I'm 8,600 miles in and need to replace tires. Has anyone replaced their tires and have good recommendations?

How do you like the full HD Stage 1? Considering doing the same for my sport glide in the next two weeks. Would love to hear if you thought it was worth the cost?

Memphis Shades batwing with 5" windshield in black
relocated turn signals and added CD LED inserts
CD sequential light bar
HD Engine guard and soft lowers
4" curved risers and chrome switches
Stage1 Ventilator + SE street cannons + SEPST
I use my old power vision to monitor her vitals
Garmin drive 60 gps







Soft lowers are so good at eliminating buffetting, i might replace them with hard permanent ones.

So far I am super happy with the bike

What bike lift is that and are you happy with it?
Thanks
Does the heavy breather get in the way of your legs at all?

I don't think stage1 is worth it performance wise with M8.

I thought the Sport Glide was lively in its stock form, but I’m glad I took it to Stage One.

With a Screamin’ Eagle Ventilator, Rinehart slip-on, SE tuner and a dyno tune from the dealer, my horsepower and torque numbers are equal to a stock 114. I can feel (and hear) the difference. Midrange is more responsive and it pulls right up to the limiter in top gear. I know there’s more to be had with a cam and extra cubes, but I’m happy for now.

As for cost, taking the M8 107 to the same performance level as the 114 cost less than adding the bigger engine option to MSRP on one of the other new softail models.

Just curious, what did you use to mount the front blinkers? I installed the batwing as well and for the life of me can't find any brackets/clamps that fit for relocation.
Your bike is looking Great!

Did you have to extend the cables to add the 6" risers?

Yes. Clutch cable no but brake cable got the heritage cable. Since then I also put on the narrow beach bars and this requires wire extensions which I’m still dealing with. The connectors create extra bulk which makes getting the faring on and off a bitch.
