I don't know if I am going to change the front tire yet. It is nowhere near needing it, and it seems to be a decent tire. I don't really care if the pattern isn't exactly the same front and rear.

Thunder header is on its way going to go outside the box on this one. Wonder how its going to look on the BO. Love the sound of those pipes such a distinctive tone especially with cams. I'll post some pics when done.

It's small-ish, and seemingly unobtrusive, and I wanted to get you other breakout owners opinions.. The only thing I was really disappointed on was the clamps. The outer half of the clamp is chrome and the inner half is flat black. You'd think that both halves would be chrome? They also suggest you buy the handlebar clamps to go with it, another $24, which I did, and the screws for those clamps were too short. I may go and find longer allen screws for that and see what it looks like mounted to the bars. Here's a few shots.




I went with the QD model by HD. As you can see, it interfered with the placement of a second (passing lamp) I'm installing using a DK custom bracket. I've had the windshield mounting frame machined so that the screen tilts back a little further since this pic was taken. I'll post a picture of the resulting setup when I return from overseas.

I got out to ride some yesterday (and was able to get a couple good tuning runs with my PV2/AT) and found that the fly screen works perfectly. I still get the 'wind in the face', but as far as keeping the wind pressure off my chest, It does a great job. I'm playing with different angles to see if I can change where the wind hits me while riding. It's amazing how much difference a little screen like that can make when doing 70+. I also can't wait to get my new seat on there. That 107" kit has loads of torque, and I found myself sliding back off the seat a couple times from twisting the throttle a little too hard.

for anyone curious.... took a few ideas from 24v and slightly modified. removed the license plate and rear turn signal extensions and bolted them straight up.

then got a kury curved & lighted license plate kit and swingarm mount. removed the LEDs and sent it off for powder coating. came out pretty damn good!

Looks good. Are those tail lenses spray tinted? They look darker than normal.
