I'm really having a hard time deciding. I know that this is the time to go 117", but it's still a fair amount extra cash when everything is factored in. Plan today is to do some research today, and order cylinders/pistons (either 110 or 117) from Fuel Moto tomorrow.

I need to do that next. My garage is a disaster.

 

Do it, 117" !

Do it, looking forward to this

 

When I looked at the price of Timken conversion, case boring and shipping the S&S T2 case in 4.125 was my choice. The crank bearing behind the camplate is secure now also(Snap Ring). On my 08 case it isn't and can walk. HD changed that in the later years with 2 bolts.

 

Threw on some bobbles - slotted shifter / rear brake levers..., set of teardrop rear views

Removed my A/C to put together a system to vent crankcase gases externally and found some nasty gunk. Glad I did this good and early on as opposed to putting it off.

 

I went out there last night with a timer to see how much I could get done in an hour. I burnt out with twenty two minutes left on the clock - but I got a lot done. I'm going to work on it tonight.

Edit: I might get one of these head bolt cover sets. I am just doing some tinkering things on the bike right now. I dont have the money for anything big. I blew my wad on the front end.

 

yes... full of nasty. Throttle body clean that filth

 

Picking this up today...Big Al's makes some killer stuff...

 

I have the Lowbrow Customs three inch spot mirrors mounted and here is my review.
All in all not bad. the mirrors themselves are of good quality and are in stainless steel housings, the mirror arms are nicely finished aluminum die castings in chrome plate. The only McCheese to be found is the supplied washers (thin), the rest of the hardware is stainless steel and satisfactory.
Mounting is painless, you have to flip one mirror head around for the left side. The adjustment is a bit finicky as these mirrors are low and close to the controls, with thin summer weight gloves I was able to find a position where my gloved index fingers missed the bottoms of the mirrors (I wear a size 9 glove), if you have big hands you're going to need to run a spacer.
The view from the mirrors is average, If I dip my forearm the upper two thirds of the mirrors are useable and I can see around myself, this is no worse than some factory mirrors.
Aesthetically, I like them, they are about as minimalist as you can get and seem to vanish into the background on my bars. The price is right at just under $66.00 for the pair.
Public Service Announcement: With my bars on my bike I like these mirrors, on your bike with your bars you may find them useless.

Funny, but to me, the best mirrors I've ever had, for rear view visibility were the OEM's on my '11FXDC. No shoulders,saw behind me and both adjacent lanes, and little vibration. Not as sexy as the CNC Rizomas I had on a couple different bikes, but felt safer using them.

FWIW, I like the look of yours, and the price, as they were about 20% the cost of the Rizomas. tp
