[QUOTE=phil-lip;14076976]Harley makes adjusters so does kuryakyn, if you look at my bike on page 123 of this thread, you will see how nicely they move those male only pegs up 2" out of stock foot control, very comfortable...

 

Yes, it is a K&N filer. In the immortal words of Johnny Carson, "I did not know that."


Thank you. I feel much better now.


350 miles so far and I love riding this bike. Will be close 400 miles later today when I drive home from work.

 

Yeah me and a Buddy are doing all the work on Saturday.

@AdamM Still looking at swapping but will no for sure after i actually lay eyes on the bike and get the other mods in place. I still haven't even taken possesion of the bike yet.

 

Okay cool, just shoot me a PM when you figure it all out. Thanks again

 

Cool. Wish I had a buddy who lived close enough to help me with such things. I do have a good friend who is a mechanic but he lives in GA. Thus, I leave all mechanical work to the dealership.

Looking forward to the pics.

 

So I am closing in on 550 miles in 8 days. I have the old school one piece sissy, the windshield, V&H slip on, and some already fixed swirl marks courtesy of a paper towel used on a gas spill. The handlebars are a little off, as the bend of the right side is different than the left (they are all off like this) but the dealer adjusted them to fit me and the chrome is slightly different on the bars too. But I love this bike especially with the new exhaust upgrade! I have been meeting all kinds of people on this bike and everyone loves the green. Again, the pics don't do it justice.

Very nice. I love the Jade Green color. Hell, I tried getting one.

Any other mods planned? Fairing or windscreen? Superbrace Fork Brace?

 

Questions on the V&H slip-on. Much difference in sound when you went from the stock? Did you have to have it tuned? Getting different opinions before buying.


Thanks

 

Of course! The first pic shows a HD windscreen that I picked off a used bike and cleaned up to look new. I told the dealer that it was adding no value to that bike and to sell it to me for cash. He threw it in as a bonus. I am looking at a fender luggage rack from Krome to go behind the sissy and that will be it for a while unless you count the back pack that I put a giant HD patch on!

 

I put the V&H on last night in about 15 minutes tops. I ran it around a bit and it definitely has a lower growl that is noticeably louder but not too loud. It's a definite step or two over stock and took some vibration out. I have the same small backfiring that I did with the stock pipe, it just sounds cooler. Everyone I have talked to said to have it tuned at this point would just be an exercise in spending money and I have to agree. The bike runs great and it's a great sound for my purposes. If you want to go all outlaw, this is not the way to go! LOL.
