That sounds like a plan! I will bring a camera and post some photos as I am pretty sure that there is no other one in Ireland!!!

 

congrats on it..

I would call the Daytona dealer and ask them for specifics mang!

 

I'd like to see the Custom in white too. Post a pic if you get one.

 

I finally got the bike home to Ireland around the middle of October but between the wettest and then the coldest weather here for 90 years it didn't get much use but I did manage to get out for 9 or 10 rides between the snow and ice! It just had its first service and I had heated grips fitted which are the greatest extra you can put on a bike over here, I actually can feel the controls now instead of just looking to see where my hands are on the bike!!
The pipes I got fitted in Daytona are the loudest thing I ever heard over here and I get everyones attention when I am out riding especially through the small towns and villages, the wait was worth it and I am looking forward to the weather getting better and to get as many rides in as possible!


Thanks everyone again for all your help,

Caddyman

 

Looking good. I love the firefighter editions!! Glad to see you got it acroos the pond ok.

 

Hey Caddyman.......so much for our Al Gore's Global warming theory....... coldest and wettest in 90 years eh?

If no one's mentioned to you......do youself a big favor and use PREMIUM Petrol in your bike..and if you they have Shell in Ireland, their Premium V Power is what many riders use. Never use E85 ethanol blend if they sell it over there. I've also read studies that any gas/petrol mixed with even 10% ethanol will reduce mileage/kilometers by at least 10% if not more. The ethanol seems to contribute to excessive heating of the engines from what I've read.
Lets all hope an early spring arrives for those of us who live in Northern Climates...... this winter's really been a long.

 

Thanks LWOS, I will experiment with using the Shell Premium V brand the first chance I get, the nearest Shell station to me is in County Louth in a town called Ardee aout 13 miles from me so when she needs a fill up i will try it out and let you know what differences I see! I don't think there is an ethanol ststion anywhere within 50 miles of me but even if I used it HEAT will never be a problem in Ireland!!! Thanks for the tips, Caddyman

 

What model pipes do you have? You should be able to order quieter baffles for them, if you think the exhaust volume is a bit too loud. Usually the quiet baffles will give you a bit better performance, sound deeper and are still a lot louder then the stock HD exhaust.

Beautiful bike, Congrats !

 

Hey NC Pirate.......
Very nice looking bike....... BTW what pipes do you have on that Bad Boy Fat Boy?
They look a like V&H Double Barrels. Are they by any chance?
