Love the LED headlamps... The ONLY way to go...
Realize that I'm a newbie to the forum... but really hate this string of posts... 702 pages... Really? Any way to better organize thoughts?! I made it to page xxx before I had to say f-it... Really wish all of this GREAT fatboy lo knowledge and sharing was better organized into categories/subjects without searching or googling.
Why not have one string for all Harley riders to post to about everything... saves moderators from working at all...
With this setup, looks like moderators can stay lowwww maintenance...

Thanx man. Good luck getting your pipes sorted out.
I frikin love the sound and looks to the duals. Wasn't sure about the looks until a few days back in the garage. They grew on me pretty fast. Next week I am dropping in to a machinist to lathe some simple alum tips to slip on for matching the front light rings.
More mods incoming shortly...
Odered some 'Biker's Choice' black round mirrors for old skool look and PC the rear signal lights w/ smoke lenses. The Alloy Art strut markers I will probably leave out...the lack of visibility bothers me now.

Thanks guys. The LED lights are the best. Will not ever ride without them...
I just bought the Part number 200442. Its a Independent Control Auxiliary Lamp Wire Harness Kit. It is so I can keep my Auxiliary Lamps on with my High Beam light.
I seem to get a lot more light from my Auxiliary Lams.

It looks like I'm going to break my riding into work streak tomorrow. I moved down to Florida at the end of December and have ridden to work everyday since but the Lo is at the dealer getting checked out till Tuesday. It started making a tapping noise from the front cylinder. Hopefully it still makes the noise when the mechanics check it out and they can fix it. I'm also hoping they don't give me a hard time about fixing it under warranty. The idiot I talked to when I made the appointment said they might not cover it since I didn't get my 5000 mile service done there. The bike has 7500 on it right now. He said that if it was something that they could have found at the 5000 they won't cover it. Of course it wasn't making the stupid noise at 5000 miles and the 5000 mile service is basically an elaborate oil change anyways. Since this is supposed to be the mod thread I'll post something mod related. I've decided I want to do the adjustable highway pegs for father's day. I'm getting HD's kit with RSD's Black Ops Chrono footpegs. Should be comfy.

Welcome! Nice ride. Love the lights. Need to get those reflectors off though.
UPDATE: See in later thread you removed the reflectors. Great minds think alike.

Jim, it's definitely a valve tapping or something. The first time it showed up it was pretty loud and metallic. It stopped by the time I got home and then did the same thing again about a week later. Then nothing for a couple of weeks and then it came back again last week. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if they can get it to make the noise of course. Hopefully the dealer will treat me right as far as the warranty goes. They might try to weasel out of it but unless they can prove I filled the oil tank with cough syrup or something they really will have a hard time proving I did anything to jack up the valves.
