What did you do to your Dyna today?
Re-checked alignment, still good.
Installed Sputhe rear stabilizer, good I hope.
Loosened front motor mount while I was there messing with the rear one and let the engine center itself up, good.
Re re-checked alignment, still good. According to my three angle finders it's within under .5 degrees.
The install was pretty smooth and I was pleasantly surprised that I did not have to mess with the banjo bolt on the rear master cylinder to get things to work. I hope this helps tremendously, if not cures the damn wobble this bike has. I'm contemplating throwing in the towel and just taking it to a shop.

I've changed the tire pressures a few psi, checked fall away, predator front motor mount, new rear motor mount, checked alignment, checked wheel bearing and swing arm bearing end play, checked spokes, changed rear shocks, and now the rear stabilizer. Next is a front fork service. Holy crap

Got my "refreshed" gauges back. I sent emails to a bunch of vendors, and ended up choosing Zee's Customs, in Elko, Minnesota. A bunch of the "Gauge Vendors" wouldn't work on "older stuff" (my bike is a 2000), and some simply never got back to me. Zee's were great with communication, and turned them around really quickly. I had the glass refreshed (it literally looks brand new), new gloss black bezels installed, and all the back lighting converted to white LED. Unfortunately, it'll still be a week or so before I can fire it all up to see what it looks like... Kind of hard to photograph, but they literally look brand new!
Before sending them, the glass was all scratched and cloudy, the FXDX bezels had a black rubberized coating which was all torn up (it looked like old Plasti-Dip, but that's how they were), and there was a dead bug in the bottom of the tach... I kinda miss that guy...

Thought I had it fixed but still fighting Target Tune issues. Contacted both Dynojet and FuelMoto but just got a "that's weird" response. Flashed the DJ canned map that's been converted to a TT map and bike ran OK, not like it should but it's obviously not optimal. Started an autotune session on said map and just like always, bike ran beautifully during the autotune process. Exported the adjustments and flashed the updated map, bike runs horribly, popping, surging, rough idle. Tonight I'll try going through the sensor connections yet again, but if it ran great during autotune, why wont it run the same when that map is flashed? I'm starting to contemplate just ripping it out and going back with the stock O2 sensors and be done with it, not sure if the benefits are worth the headache.
Spent a little time in the garage and swapped out a couple parts. New footpegs and grips, and these little brass rocker cover bolts that will match my tank when I finally get it back from body shop jail.
