they will all look good in the end!
I well understand! I put visors on my Heritage but had to get an extra hand to do the headlight. But they dang sure look good!

Finished this winter’s to do list New EBC rotors, Lyndall pads and fresh sneakers.

Quick 50 mile trip to heat her up then changed the oil.

Temp’s look nice tomorrow and I’m so stoked for this riding season.

Been hearing a lot of talk about that cam lately.. Are you going to have it Dyno tuned? If so please post up a real "User" Dyno sheet... I'd like to see what's going on in the real world and not some advertisement for a shop... Thanks....

i am. There are real user dyno sheets out there already.

i dont concern myself chasing dyno sheets or the absolute most horsepower i can get . It will be an improvement that i can feel and hear. It will be on a safe tune. Good enough.

the graph in the fuel moto thread is fairly impressive. 110+ on TQ at like 2200 rpm, and then climbs...you will for sure feel that gain

This afternoon, I finally installed foot pegs on my new engine guard on my 06 Heritage. I also made an external breather and installed it on same bike. It still needs a little tweaking. Going to install external breather on the OLs Deluxe when I get some parts. The breather bolts are different on her bike. Not a softail, but I took my RGU to the shop for new fork seals.

Still working to get this where I want it. But G-D these chiklas are loud and a nice addition. So I bought the chiklas thinking they would work on stock pipes. That was a costly mistake as I had to get some bassani headers. I’m glad I went with 39s because of the way they cross the fender. Now to figure out the best way to tune a 2003 springer.

Are you saying you are or are not going to have it tuned? When I did the Fueling HP+ Camchest Kit W/ Reaper 525 Cams #7220, I had a generic map that Fuel Moto sent me with the PCV, it wasn't bad, but having her Dynoed woke the bike up to a whole new level of performance and fuel economy. I didn't build it as a hotrod, but for low end torque when fully loaded 2UP, that extra grunt off the line makes her easier and smoother to get her up to speed, I can hold a lower gear longer and she just pulls. Well worth the $325.

Yes a dyno tune in the right shop with the right tuner (person) is very essential, my question is how long ago did you get your Dyno tune..$325 is only half the current going rate..
