After two bikes with forwards, I want mids. Trouble is finding a Harley that isn't factory forwards or modified forward.
Gotcha. Yes, I also had that feeling that I could never relax my legs and I hated it.

Had? The reduced reach kit helped that much?

Got rid of the Memphis Shades sport and did 100 miles with no wind shield. Much better. No buffeting
First ride after the oil change. 20w-50 full synthetic. Engine noise was not greater.

Got a few pieces back from the powder coater and put the wheel back together.








The best use ever for twist ties.




Now I just need to press in the bearings and final tighten and true it. The shop has the new tire and it's going on Tuesday woohoo!

Made some actual progress today. Got the new rear wheel and tire on, wired up the rear turn signals and brake light, installed the fenders and sissy bar. Got a handful of things to wrap up before its ridable including finishing the front brake lines and swapping all the guts into the new tank, but hopefully by next weekend it will hit the highway.

Finally ran lights to my plate. And added a blue led for the motor fun fun.
Then. Relaxed.

Absolutely. Whoever had the bike before me must've been the jolly green giant. I put on the factory seat lumbar pad which he had removed, it helped but the controls were still too far forward. On the highway it felt like my feet were going to blow off if I didn't consciously press down on the pegs. Very fatiguing. An inch closer doesn't sound like much but now it fits me like a glove.

A pic from the other side would look nice on that rear rim.......

Threw a new lithium battery in from Antigravity batteries, 480 cranking amps sure helps turn the big bore 107 over better then the tired old stocker.

Looked good sitting there after a ride so needed to take a picture too

Andrews 48H and some of the related parts. There are some new bearings and lifters as well. It's being installed today. Dynojet sent me a base tune for my PV that I can work with. Should be rockin' for the weekend.
