Within this past week and today, I added the VH/FP3, and added the Rush Slip Ons. This changed the bike dramatically. The sound these Slip Ons make is downright nasty. The best ear candy I've ever heard. It sounds like a NASCAR Race Car!
Today, I added DK Custom's adjustable Hwy Pegs and their 1" Fatbar Risers. Great mods!
Additionally, I finally mounted my old HD leather throw-over saddlebags that I kept from my old '02 Fatboy. It works. Happy camper...
The only mod I'm considering is the side mount Dyna Oil Cooler. I might have that installed at my next service.
Cheers/B

You'll love a Jagg oil cooler. I went with the low mount; it's something you can do yourself, installing an oil cooler is not a hard job. One recommendation if you do go with a Jagg oil cooler: upgrade the oil lines and clamps. Gates 400 PSI reinforced transmission oil cooler line and #7051227 fuel injection clamps and you won't have any issues. You can get both the Gates line and the injection clamps at a NAPA store...

Edited to add: when you say 'dyna' oil cooler are you referring to the HD offering? Save your money and get the Jagg, the HD offering isn't any sort of quality I'd put on my bike

After a few different plate/light relo kits, different lights, etc I finaly found a plate holder I like for the new LR fender. The Ness lights look better on here, too. Still may change to stock bullet housings with LEDs

Changed oil in all 3 holes yesterday... Piece of chit Harbor Freight torque wrench never "snapped" so I slightly over tightened the oil drain plug So far no leaks, but I'm almost positive next time I take that plug out its not going back in properly.

I can only imagine the cost to replace the oil pan

Default Finally got her back!

I had accident on 4/13. There wasn't a rush to get things handled as I was in bad shape but for the last few weeks I've been really wanting to ride. Once the sling was off I was just waiting in misery. I picked her up on lunch and she looks and sounds better than I remember.

Hopefully your pan will be ok; it's possible you crushed the O-ring when you over-torqued the drain bolt so watch it for possible leaks. I've not used a torque wrench doing fluid changes in years. I spin on the drain bolts and snug them up with the allen key wrench then use a 5/8" combination wrench on the primary and engine oil pan bolts; I just give them a tug with the wrench, no need to be heavy handed. Never had a leak yet. On the transmission drain bolt I snug it up with the allen key wrench and use a 5/8" socket on a small ratchet and snug it up.

14 - 21 ft-lbs isn't a lot of torque, if you're more comfortable using a torque wrench use an inch-pounds torque wrench instead; they're much more accurate at the lower ft-lbs torque specs than a foot-pounds torque wrench is...

That's why I only use beam type torque wrenches. They're cheap, durable, and more accurate than all but the best break over wrenches.

We have at least a thousand torque wrenches at work and most are snap-on. Even those need recalibrated at least every year. We have torques that range from 4 inch pounds to 150 foot pounds. Most are EPA regulated mechanical joints (refrigerant-containing systems. Some having a couple hundred pounds of liquid r134a in them)

If I had the coin, I'd get a pair of nice digital wrenches with beepers. We use them in our test/R&D lab and they spoil you fast.
