I had a Yaffe 14" bars and Kahuna heated grips installed before delivery.
Since then I have added a Yaffe Stealth III plate frame, CB and antenna, In fairing garage door opener, Fullsac exhaust, removed the passenger pegs and moved them up front for Hwy pegs. Also did paint matched mid frame air deflectors and 4 point docking hard ware. CVO Riders back rest. Also a Klock Werks 14" Sport flair windshield and a cup holder. Fullsac 2.25 baffles
Still to do is paint matched head light trim, Custom Dynamics Halo front turns, and plunging the holes from removing the foot pegs. Then when I get a few more dollars a I will get the TTS tuner and install my Fullsac MX head pipe.

CONGRATS DAVE,
Your Rigs are always done in my opinion, great taste!
You been dodging the bullets with your M8s as of late. I hope you and everyone else doesn't foresee the forbidden troubles that some have encountered.
Do you think you might keep one of these M8's and play with the motor? Like Your King, as I know you like to keep a RG some what stock for Cross Country tours?

I have been fortunate with the M8 so far, 21500 trouble free miles on the 17 CVO Street glide, 24750 trouble Free on the 18 CVO Road Glide. Was planning to keep the 18 2 years, but saw this and had to have it. The only one SMHD was getting and it had a deposit on it the day of the dealer show. So I knew I was not buying a 19. Well the deal fell through and I was there the next morning when the opened, saw the bike so I asked. Bought it that day.
I am thinking of playing with this one in a year or little more if it proves trouble free for 23K miles. This motor will be easier to make big power out of. I figure 145 square and be able to ride cross country even with the crap gas out west. I figure 160 if you want to keep it east of he Mississippi river like my kings build. This motor will handle a lot more compression then the twin cam. 12.3 or so would be safe all over the country on an M8 where 11.4 in a twin cam is no good west of the Mississippi River.
Time will tell, but I may do this one. I really want to build an M8 bad.

I'll keep you posted as one of my bros picked up the same bike as you in August.
He can't leave anything stock for too long.
He has all his parts gathered up and ready to go at it. After much decision, he decided to go the Fuel Moto 128 kit, B-Heads (I think) Different Cams, pistons, bigger Thottle Hog w/ bigger injectors, header, pipe and a Thundermaxx Turner. (I suggested TTS, but you can only bring a horse to water...)
It should be a Monster. In Hindsight, I really think the only reason he is doing it is my other bro has a 15" RGS built up with Ohlins front/rear, a bunch of one offs special tricked out chit, and a Stout S&S 124" motor with some Zack Johnson love producing 157HP & 146TQ. It's a Sleeper Ripper for sure!
I will keep you posted when it's done.

Of course larger injectors requires, and a 62mm HPI throttle body, big valve heads and so on. Better Air cleaners the the HD ones limit you to about 135 hp.
TTS or Power Vision are the turner to use. Either can put a stock map back in the bike so HD does not detect the ECM has been tampered with. Both are very capable tuners, wouldn't use any other than those two.
