How do you like the sound?

And I'd love to hear what the tuner thinks about it, after doing your dyno tune....
yep they are the Pro street turn outs from Bassani and they sound great IMHO the best thing that I noticed is they helped increase the low end a bunch!!! over the pipes i had before these!
I was so impressed with the increase in low end power I put a set on my springer also but went with the pro street slash cut and they also gave me a ton more low end over what I had!!

Installed Russell Speed Bleeders in the front Performance Machine 6 piston caliper, and the stock rear one. Of course they have different size bleeder screws, so I had to buy 2 kits (1/4" for the PM, and 3/8" for the stocker), but I look at it as having backups in case anything goes wrong. .Then I flushed both front and rear brakes. Man, I should have installed these things LONG ago. Makes the whole process a breeze!

Cheers!

The last few weeks have been crazy but I finally have my bike back together.

I wanted to go a different route to the Candy & Flaked out low rider style. Aiming for more Hot Rod/Gasser look with a touch of low brow.

I love flat/matte paint jobs and fitting names so I opted for Matte Brown and Matte Clear coat with a little bit of lettering & line work.

Looking into a recover for my seat this week and add some new plates but she’s pretty much done………………..until next winter.

One thing about WWW, you must stay on top of them. The only WWW I've seen gleam snow white are the OEM Dunlops. Even after a few riding seasons. I'm big on the Magic Eraser & Black Magic Bleche-Wite Cleaner. Also a thick heavy bristle brush on the end of a cordless drill will really dig deep. But some tire manufactures WWW will turn a soft yellow over time to the point of no return. Dunlop OEM's, 2 full riding seasons and ready for new ones. You can't beat this tire for WWW, and I like how they handle.

Thanks! They do cleanup nice but I wish I could get them even whiter. I hand wash my bikes and used to use Bleche-Wite whenever I tackled the white-walls, until I learned better from another rider. Now I use my pressure washer. That's why the bike was on my lift. Easier that way. Pressure washer is only used for the white-walls and the underside of the bike. As an aside, I'm running Marathon Ultra white-walls.

Metz have been known to yellow over a short period of time.

Hi TK, beautiful bike! Cleans up nice! I notice your under seat bolt looks chromed? Is that a chrome cover or did you replace with chrome bolt? Either way, where did you get the part? Thanks and keep your knees in the breeze my man!
