Yep, first Harley. Owned Kawaski's, Susuki's and Honda's in my younger days. I've did the same with cars. I've owned 11 Monte Carlo SS's over the years. And a few Mopars (340 Duster and Coronet 440). Build them and sell them then build another one. Haven't did a re-tune yet. Read all over this site. Some do the re-tune some don't with exhaust. I will when I get a new air cleaner. I'll take the feelers off. they do hit alot.

I knew the sound was different but seems like it's got a little more on the bottom end now.
I ordered 1.5" riser extensions and new grips. Going to get black mirrors, clutch and brake levers soon.
Those pipes look familiar! Lol

Lightbulb Cheap fix for rear part of dash tank strip not laying down

The Breakout dash strip tends to lift up and create a gap between the dash strip and gas tank towards to rear of tank, mainly because there is a big curve at the base of tank and a tiny screw holding down the dash strip. The tiny screw is not able to apply sufficient pressure on the dash strip to keep it tight.

Here is my non-elegant, 10-cent fix for keeping the lower part of the Breakout dash piece nice and snug against the tank.

Plain 'ol fender washer with 1/4" hole in it, and use some bolt cutters to nip off a flat section so it clears the bolt below it. Works nicely.
