I have the same bike albeit in Scorched Apple/Starfire Black as Vinman and I live 'on the other side of the pond.' I recently went to the Hamburg Harley Festival and travelled just about 1,600 miles to get there and back covering 570 miles in a day on the return journey. I got some great ideas from the festival and came back with quite a 'wish list' to make it even badder looking. A rear 300mm fat wheel conversion was looked at but coming in at over £11k in my money it wasn't viable. After due consideration and the realisation that I could fit a 260mm Metzeler with no bother I pulled the trigger on a few 'must haves' that I don't really need and all arrive in the next week or so.
"Shaving off a mere 40mm from the 300mm tyre has saved me about £7k" is the way I like to look at it.
Thunderbike 260mm fender with integrated stop/tail and indicator lights in the rear edge of the fender coming from Germany Tuesday and Cult Werks side number plate mount from UK A R Harley also arrives next week. I have done a great deal of delving, research and phone calls into various air ride systems including Thunderbike’s own, Arnotts and Shotgun. Whilst the others are more readily available over here and possibly cheaper the Shotgun comes with a lifetime warranty and is designed and made by a guy who has developed this over 30 years in the trade and the product appears top quality, well liked and proven in the Harley fraternity. I wasn't keen on the compressor mounting for the Breakout either with the Arnotts system.
This was going to be a two-fold project, fender first, air ride shock after. The air shock will now be first whilst the fender is away for seat manufacture and paint. If I went ahead and fitted the Thunderbike fender with standard shocks I have to mess about fitting suspension bump stops. This is not what I want to do as it overcomplicates the fitting and eventual goal I wanted to achieve. That said I have been in contact with Shotgun Shocks in the USA today. Great service and very prompt response to queries, ordered one at great expense and it is being shipped to me on Monday and should be with me in 5-7 days. I envisage me beginning to strip down the bike next weekend and 4-6 weeks later to have a completely different looking beast being wheeled out of my garage. Fender will be 'carbon dipped' and I need to get a custom seat made as the OEM seat will not fit with the fender. Have bought the seat base from Thunderbike that does go with the fender. Below is a You Tube clip of a very similar fender and Shotgun setup on a 103. Exciting next few weeks.
I test drove the 114 and decided to get me a 2016 CVO saved me 4000 and I love the looks so much more . Agree on the handling , way better on the 2018 but still... With the smaller tank and the 21'' front wheel, the bike doesn't look bad *** anymore , of course you can mod it to a nice looking one, but the cvo already was exactly my thing .
For the record though, 21 inch front wheel is standard. Only the prostreet had the smaller "more aggressive"wheel. A point many of us owners hated about that model.
Took the day off work and headed for the coast. I've only owned it a week and am still running it in, but i absolutely love this bike. Every time i open the throttle it makes me grin.
Since that comes with the cvo breakout, I guess you can order it at any HD dealer. (sorry I can't give you more info, as a former Japanese streetbike racer , I am drooling over your Duc)
