No. It's going up for sale. I just don't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. It's a big heavy beast that just isn't for me.

No oil in filter!!
Looks great. I got the same (similar) air cleaner to put on my S off of a Slim-S. It is fully supported by the breather bolts, so I need to come up with a plan for the vents when I eliminate that crap.

Well done,

I get that. Had a Streetglide, Roadglide and Ultra Classic. All were nice on the road, but too heavy and never instilled confidence in me.

With the stiff braided hose and the return hose thru backing plate to air filter it is very stiff and rigid. No concerns at all. Very good observations though.


Thanks everyone. Work my tail off for a year building almost all custom parts and did my own powder coating.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing when I first saw that picture too. Kinda like,
"When are drag pipes not actually low end robbing drag pipes?", and there's the answer.

I think Harley-Davidson makes a great exhaust system.

All that I'd need to fix that is a more powerful engine.

Thanks man! I can't ride it, may as well detail it!

On second thought, I think I'm going to leave the polished aluminum fork tube lowers on there.

So far today I have removed that tiny diamond encrusted eyesore of a trim ring on my bike's dash.



I'm going to go ahead and put the 1.75" inch lowering blocks on it today. I'll post pictures. Then I'm going to jack the front end up so I can start taking the front end apart.

I ordered a new chrome top shock cover for the left rear shock. The old one is cracked.

Here are some pictures of the bike with the rear lowered 1.75 inches.

Looks good but from what I have read here lowering blocks change suspension geometry and will affect handling noticeably?

Thank you! Aye! In general, lowering the rear of the bike only will make it feel more stable at speed. Lowering the front only will make the bike turn in easier at most speeds, but it also will be less stable at speed. Lowering both the front and rear the same amount should be negligible. You do lose lean angle, though.

Edit: another picture:
